(Warning: potentially incendiary rant ahead)
I am sick and fucking TIRED of seeing people on Facebook posting statuses that read as such:
“Please pray for (insert whatever thing or cause you think Jeebus needs your help to make happen).”
NO.
I don’t give a fuck that your aunt’s dog is getting neutered, nor do I give one half of a shit that your cousin’s roommate is interviewing for a job, nor does it affect my life ONE BIT that Little Johnny is starting kindergarten.
First of all, WHY in the name of Joe Pesci would you be so self-centered to ask for prayers for something like that? (and before you ask, yes, I have seen all of these at one time or another on Facebook)
Second, what the fuck good is a prayer from me going to do? I haven’t been involved in any religion for years, and yet somehow a prayer from my ass will somehow convince the Big Invisible Man in the Sky to help someone you know nail a job interview?
Third, you’re being manipulative. Stop it. If you really want some good juju, talk to your friends one on one, or go have a few beers with a group of friends and talk to them face to face. Don’t blast it out on social media so that person you had a one night stand with last week will all of a sudden pray for your dumbass kid to not get a score of “retard” on their SATs.
If you call or message me and say, “my mom is going into surgery/I’m having a rough time/my dog was eaten by a sloth, and I need someone to talk to,” YES, I will give you an ear and a shoulder and any emotional support I can.
But don’t pull that “please pray for (whatever)” shit.
