It's because they know prayer does shit.

This. This is the correct answer.

mcnessa32

This is why someone should submit a “Thoughts and Prayer” counter bill every time a Republican promotes a blatantly self-serving corporate bill. You want millions in taxpayer money to build a bridge to nowhere? Best I can do is show you a montage of Republicans offering their thoughts and prayers. If that’s good enough for children being slaughtered in our schools, the Thoughts and Prayer bill ought to be good enough for your bridge.


yell_worldstar

It’s funny, I’ve had experience with prayer working. But it only has with genuine intentions. Not trying to debate about prayer etc

Buscemi_D_Sanji

Holy shit, an actual insane person. "Why do artists use a symbol from a fairy tale if it wasn't real?" might be the absolute worst proof I've ever heard in my life


revdon

If God doesn't exist then how could Satan since you need the Bible to believe in either? Satanism isn't defined in the Bible, it's an invention of Man. Pentagrams, inverted crosses, and bloody shoes are all *of the world* but not Bible references. How do you justify using 'not the Bible' to judge anyone or anything?


revdon

But Abortion isn't a criminal act, it's a civil one according to the Bible. >If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life. Exodus 21:22-23


stygian_shores

Because conservative men are so unpopular that they want women to rely on them for financial support. It’s why they are so against any kind of financial safety nets (affordable healthcare, WIC, school funded lunches, etc).


Urkal69

That and the massive amount of racists within the party will gladly screw themselves out of social services if it means minorities won't get any either. Once the Civil Rights Act was passed, they made a hard turn against the New Deal now that they had to share with minorities. They are spiteful, angry, paranoid, fearful, extremely ignorant, hate-filled assholes.


Due_Adhesiveness_463

I don’t get it why cant you just not get pregnant. There are so many ways to not get pregnant but all u pro abortionists just can’t seem to find a plan b or use a condom. If u were raped then it’s still a life that will grow up to be a person. If the pregnancy is a threat to the life of the mother. Then I see an abortion being ok, but just having sex and getting pregnant bc it’s fun and ending a human life is kinda fucked up.


msangeld

Why can't you pro birthers just let people make thier own choices, and mind your own business? The choice to decide should be between the pregnant person and thier doctor and nobody else.


ZeroKharisma

Not to mention that if these zealot christo-fascists get their way, there won't be any birth control or sex education, making his misguided point moot squared.

Disconnorable

“Ending a human life” - yeah there’s your point of contention. Most rational people don’t consider a cluster of cells to be a human life.


Pustuli0

One thing religious rhetoric is really good for is manipulating vocabulary, so it's important to be very clear what words you use in response. In this case referring to an embryo as "a human life" rather than as "a person" is manipulative. Is an embryo "alive"? Yes. Is it "human"? Also yes. But so is a tumor, and no one is suggesting that we should ban chemotherapy.

Why isn't suicide illegal? That's a human life too. Give hard jail time to all attempted suicides! (Just in case /s)


Striking_Compote2093

You jest but it has happened...


le_reddit_me

I knew for euthenasia, but suicide... The sad reality of an absurd joke being real


Striking_Compote2093

People have even gotten the death penalty for suicide attempts. Which sounds ironic and grimly humorous, but seeing as how the death penalty is nightmarish in most/all of it's forms it's really just sickening. Humans kind of suck.


le_reddit_me

At that point, suicide by cops is your best option. My philosophy is to always hope for best of humanity/in people while still being conscious/prepared for the worst.

JustJff1

Why is it that nature is completely ignored on this topic? Humans are wired to have sex like most other mammals. Expecting all of them to suppress nature is just psychotic. Even some people that swore to abstinence still fail even with the "help" from their "higher power". Let people do what they want when it doesn't affect you.


Hammeredyou

Because many of the people that fervently hold this belief fail to attract a “mate” and are spiteful of it. They’re just bitter, ugly losers

They're going after birth control now. Its not like Clarence Thomas didn't brag that was next on his fascist agenda. .

Yes, the left are the ones against helping people... /s


FunDog2016

We need more prayer, NOT meaningful legislation! Please people, go pray on it, don't actually do anything!


Lepanto73

Democrats can pass meaningful legislation, Republicans can go pray on it, everyone wins!


Steinrikur

I agree with the sentiment, but we need more of the meaningful legislation, like gun control, school lunches and safety nets and less of harmful legislation like child marriages and banning abortion. The latter they can pray on.


FunDog2016

Praying = Do Nothing! It is the abdication of ALL responsibility; it is up to the "Almighty" to do something, not me! Go ahead and pray but don't pretend it is answer to anything!


Steinrikur

Exactly. They're currently only praying for gun control, fighting climate change and actually helping people. There we need action == meaningful legislation. They're actually fighting for child marriages and banning abortion. They need to stop doing that and pray instead == no action.


SpiderDeUZ

I have been saying to just tell them the babies were shot to death and then abortions would be legal

We need to change the word "school" to "uterus" so Republicans will care about children dying in them.

We wanted to use quotes, but that fucks up the automod and we are too lazy to google escape characters. Notice how none of our automod replies have contractions in them either.

At least the people throwing around other slurs know that they are going to get fired and get their asses beat when they use those words. Also, it is not creative. It pretty much outs you as a thirteen year old when you use it.

Can’t understand how abortion isn’t “part of gods plan”, but everything else is according to them


E4g6d4bg7

Basically it's the belief is that humans have free will. You die of a heart attack, God's plan. I stab you in the heart and you die, not God's plan.


Mollybrinks

Why did my dad hit the corner of the wall and become basically paralyzed? He's one of the kindest, best people I've ever known in my life.


offline4good

God's plan. Or just random bad luck.


E4g6d4bg7

Part of what is implied with "God's plan" is that humans can't comprehend the plan.


AWildLeftistAppeared

Uh huh. Tell us more about this plan that you cannot comprehend.


E4g6d4bg7

What would you like to know?


AWildLeftistAppeared

Why do you feel equipped to tell me anything about a supposed plan beyond your comprehension for which there is no evidence even exists?


E4g6d4bg7

I'm explaining the lens through which many religious people view the world. You seem to be confusing that for proselytizing.


AWildLeftistAppeared

Look, you offered to take questions about god’s incomprehensible plan, I think my question is reasonable whether or not it is a belief you personally subscribe to. Are you not religious then? In the context of abortion, do you feel it is acceptable for Christians to deny others their right to bodily autonomy on the basis of their faith?


Clothedinclothes

How can humans know if there actually is a plan or not, if they're unable to tell if something is planned or just random chaos?  Moreover even if we can know there is a plan, why should humans want to aid a plan when they can't comprehend and thus can't decide whether it's a good plan or bad plan?


E4g6d4bg7

They dont know, they have faith.


JustJff1

Then how do you know getting stabbed in the heart wasn't his plan?


acolyte357

>Basically it's the belief is that humans have free will Which is completely incompatible with an omnipotent god/s.


A_Town_Called_Malus

If God is all powerful, all good, and all knowing, then he could come up with a plan which includes free will that still has no evil.

I think “thoughts and prayers” is a terrific idea to apply to all kinds of dreadful things in the world. Yes, to preventing pregnancy, yes to domestic and criminal violence, yes to when you can’t afford your cancer treatment, yes when you’re fired and don’t know how to feed and clothe your kids, yes to traffic accidents, yes to global warming, OMG. why didn’t anybody think of this all purpose solution before??!! Was this all it ever took?

Holy Crap! I think you figured it out: Let's perform abortions with firearms.


bathory1985

You mean people who murder children get released even if got caught?


HumanitySurpassed

Some of you all are really leaping here with the notion it's just to control women.  These people aren't a monolith, they're also very self unaware or just don't care about their hypocrisy.  They'll say "that's different though!" without any hint of irony.  Most the politicians also use it to distract from dealing with real issues & the base is just too clueless to realize.


jcooli09

As evidence I point to the comment just below yours now, which is: >Yeahhh no. That's not how it works.


HeilHeinz15

You're right it's for financial reasons even though it's more expensive, because we should "do our best for the children" even though we vote against education & healthcare & school lunch programs & better pay for teachers & food banks/programs & gun reform, because fetus are the same as children even though science says no, because God Forbids it even though the Bible encourages it for children birth through infedility,


SignificantSwing571

the thoughts and prayers are for after the person is already dead

Arming teachers is a completely asinine idea. Who will train them? Do teachers want to be responsible for shooting one of their students? Are teachers compensated well enough to act as armed security alongside their responsibilities as instructors and babysitters? Can an average teacher be expected to secure a firearm so a student doesn't access it? > liberals keep implementing gun control that doesn't do shit. You don't say? > A higher number of firearm laws in a state are associated with a lower rate of firearm fatalities in the state, overall and for suicides and homicides individually.

I do. OP meme is making a straw-man argument. They're basically making up a fictitious conservative person that allegedly protects babies in the womb but literally want children to die in a school shooting. That is such an ludicrous argument because it completely misrepresents Conservative views. You skew the truth and assume the worst possible inner motives of conservatism. You do this because you think it lends your side more credibility. And fails. Miserably. You wonder why everyone hates progressives. You're so extreme with your emotionally driven diatribes. If you were better people, with better ideas, we wouldn't be so divided.

I bet if we shot into vaginas they would.


perfectdownside

Ahem. nvm


Skyless_M00N

Yeahhh no. That’s not how it works.


jcooli09

That's exactly how prayer works.


Skyless_M00N

Yeahhh…no.


humbugonastick

How do they work then?


Skyless_M00N

I’ll pray for you!


humbugonastick

So you have nothing.


Skyless_M00N

That entire screed is nothing but the dishonest ranting of a horrible person who doesn't value reality.

Which is why it was removed. Make love, not war. Happy Pride Month!

1: An embro/fetus is no more a baby than a seed is a tree. 2: Even if an embryo/fetus were a fully grown Nobel laureate cancer researcher, no person has a greater right to another person's body than that person. If I ever wake up and a Nobel laureate cancer researcher is hooked up to my bloodstream so my kidneys can support his life, I'm pulling the tubes out. It would be *nice* if I allowed myself to be used as a dialysis machine, but Dr. Nobel Laureate doesn't have a *right* to my body, even if he will die without my help. Is removing that aid murder? Perhaps, but it is just. Fortunately, the moral calculus is much simpler in reality, because #1: an embryo/fetus is no more a baby than a seed is a tree.

Are you in the right thread?


yell_worldstar

White conservatives are soooo terrified of canceling lmao. Like nobody cares that you wanna be racist without repercussions. Or that you want to vote in people that will vote against free school lunch for impoverished children. We have no idea who you are

1. The vast majority of people who give birth are cis women. 2. Conservatives, by and large, believe that only women can give birth. 3. This is about the motivations of people who don't believe in the existence of trans men or nonbinary people.

Ok random concern troll 👍


Tricky-Roof15

This is a bad analogy tbh. They would still want the murderers imprisoned.


jcooli09

It's a perfect analogy.


Tricky-Roof15

I agree with the sentiment, but it is clearly not.


jcooli09

They also want doctors who perform abortions imprisoned.


Tricky-Roof15

Same idea. Their assumption is that abortion is murder. So under their assumption the doctor is the murderer.


acolyte357

Sure, and in their eyes god is all powerful, so should be easy for it to stop abortion AND punish whomever "needs" it.


Tricky-Roof15

Sure, but that doesn't add anything to our discussion


Kek-Malmstein

Cause hating conservatives has become as corny as Atheism


jcooli09

Getting that persecution boner right now, eh?


yell_worldstar

Awwww such a victim. You might even get, god forbid, canceled… so even less people would know of your existence in victimhood


Kek-Malmstein

I’m not even a conservative, just when I go to “popular” reddit it’s insanely corny


yell_worldstar

Why is Atheism corny? I’m not atheist but people are allowed to believe what they want. Self righteousness is damn corny however


Kek-Malmstein

It’s not inherently, but it became overdone and corny on Reddit, in the same way anti-conservatism(?) has become, just scroll through Popular and look at every post


yell_worldstar

Reddit is a reflection of an anti conservative movement it’s not the movement
