insist that you pray with us.
But what if I asked you kindly to just never say anything hateful about others again?
Not sure if you actually do or not, my point is that most would scoff at the prospect and give me the "we have to fight back" baloney.
Spreading hatred is not fighting back. It's just mean, and it leads to shit like school shootings.
So no, you don't have to pray, no one is trying to make you do it either. But your reply is yet another example of what I describe.

"The prayers aren't really working, so let's do stuff that works since prayers don't do shit, never have"

Think about it. No one asked you to do anything, but you disparage those who pray. This serves nothing but the hate itself.
