Being prayed for

[BuckingFrolics]

I'm an atheist and my DM knows this - indeed she and my DF raised me as one. She "found god" when my DF left in my early teens

She says she prays for me.

AIBU to tell her to stop, as I find it offensive?

The more I study science, the more I believe in God...... Albert Einstein

“As we conquer peak after peak we see in front of us regions full of interest and beauty, but we do not see our goal, we do not see the horizon; in the distance tower still higher peaks, which will yield to those who ascend them still wider prospects, and deepen the feeling, the truth of which is emphasized by every advance in science, that ‘Great are the Works of the Lord’.”.........Sir Joseph J. Thomson, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who is recognized as the founder of atomic physics. Thomson was a devout Christian.

"I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science, if you accept, as I do, that the laws of nature are fixed, then it doesn't take long to ask: What role is there for God?"

Religion is caused by poverty and a lack of education

Nohing can come from nothing. Stephen Hawking thinking that doesn’t make it true.

In that case, where did god come from?

If only religion didn’t use it’s faith, with its built-in truth and rejection of logic, evidence and reasoning, to justify wars, persecutions, cleansings, sexism, racism, homophobia and paedophilia, and I would be happy to put up with it.
