I like that point,
I always hate when people say I’ll pray for you, it’s like bad luck for me or something like I’ll be driving to work and the wheels will fall off my car or something.
I think when we put it out there like those you suggested it does put your concerns/cares out there without a religious tone.

I’m guilty of this and I agree with what your saying. I know from experience my ex is an atheist too and I had to respect her views. We have 2 girls together so respect definitely is key

My roommate is like that,
I’m at the airport and we were chatting and I’m like please don’t say it, sweating bullets
If he would have said I’ll pray for you, be like fuck it this plane is going down. Hope you all have parachutes

I really appreciate this. I always say “I’ll pray for you” but the truth is I don’t. But I don’t feel like my words are empty or lies….it’s just a phrase. I am thinking about them and I am there for them……I just don’t know a better phrase. NOW I DO!!
So, thank you

I really like the last one, I say it sometimes. Or that I’ll be thinking of you, sending my best wishes or good vibes all work better for me. And I try to tell people that I “thank you for holding space for me.”

We miss seeing you on Sunday,
That has to be my job lol.
But as shitty as this sounds I’m a musician first, if the church wants me to play, and it’s paying well I guess as long as my feet don’t burn, I’m in. Shallow I know but I gotta pay the bills some how

Erst kommt das Fressen dann kommt die Moral
When I dropped out of university in 1988 my dad stopped giving me money. I was a self declared pacifist at the time. My bank account was deep red. The only job that would pay cash, after just one week, was in a munition factory. It was during the Iran / Iraq war and on the news I saw the howitzer grenades I had handled being shot by the Iraqi’s. I did the job for a month or so.

I realized why I like this thread so much. I found my people. I think of myself as a naturalist, and honer the ways of nature. I feel I am no more then a deer running through woods. It lives and loves and when it dies it dies. We are children of the earth; we eat plants and animals. We are all part of this wondrous natural process and I take comfort in that.
