Thoughts And PRAYERS

[Dino Velvet]

See so many people say, "I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers" to give someone best wishes. If you know they are not the type of person who prays do you also doubt that they are thinking of you too?

Well, you say "Bless you" when people sneeze - it came from the belief that the soul could be expelled from the body during a sneeze and the full phrase is "God Bless You." So we still use the old phrases long after they have any literal meaning (to most people).

Right. I'm an atheist, god damn it.
"I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers" is a relatively common expression of concern or empathy. Even when Christians use the expression, it doesn't necessarily mean they'll remember to include Dino before praying for a new car or a better job.

As an agnostic, I just say "I'll keep you in my thoughts" if someone is suffering some tragedy.

[martin48]

I'll try to keep Dino in my thoughts tonight at bedtime - does that help?

I'm a "Best Wishes" kinda fella.

I'm on my knees OFTEN... does that count as prayer?

As long as you're worshiping my bishop.

I can't at the moment... I'll send my queen to take care of your bishop...

You got me. I'm better at screwing than playing chess. Can we screw now please?

I prefer to be nailed. Got a hammer?

You are both in my thoughts and prayers NOW.

[Jericho]

If you said, "Fuck off 'ya cunt!" after I sneezed I would assume it to be complimentary.

Nah, after you sneezed, it'd be "Whezzy bollocks, blow it up"!

Well, unless there was coke on the table.
Then it'd be "Fuck off, ya cunt"..But it wouldn't be a complimentary! :hide-1:

I agree. Wasting drugs is never to be tolerated. I practically cry when I watch people flush their narcotics down the toilet. Buncha quitters with fear of commitment.

[Jericho]

Never hold anything you can't down in one! :shrug

I tell people all the time that I will attempt to telepathically communicate with their bronze-age, middle-eastern deity (Yahweh) and his illiterate son, Jesus.

[CORVETTEDUDE]

I think "thoughts and prayers" in most cases in dis-genuine. I would rather hear "sux to be you" since that's really what they mean!

Litany To Satan (From Baudelaire) trans by James Elroy Flecker


O grandest of the Angels, and most wise,
O fallen God, fate-driven from the skies,
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

O first of exiles who endurest wrong,
Yet growest, in thy hatred, still more strong,
Satan, at last take pity on our pain!

O subterranean King, omniscient,
Healer of man’s immortal discontent,
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

To lepers and to outcasts thou dost show
That Passion is the Paradise below.
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

Thou by thy mistress Death hast given to man Hope,
the imperishable courtesan.
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

Thou givest to the Guilty their calm mien
Which damns the crowd around the guillotine.
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

Thou knowest the corners of the jealous
Earth Where God has hidden jewels of great worth.
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

Thou dost discover by mysterious signs
Where sleep the buried people of the mines.
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

Thou stretchest forth a saving hand to keep
Such men as roam upon the roofs in sleep.
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

Thy power can make the halting
Drunkard’s feet
Avoid the peril of the surging street.
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

Thou, to console our helplessness, didst plot
The cunning use of powder and of shot.
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

Thy awful name is written as with pitch
On the unrelenting foreheads of the rich.
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

In strange and hidden places thou dost move
Where women cry for torture in their love.
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

Father of those whom God’s tempestuous ire
Has flung from Paradise with sword and fire,
Satan, at last take pity on our pain.

A little long-winded just for a sneeze. Fella's backing outta the driveway by the time you get to paragraph three.
