Is there anything more hollow than someone just posting "thoughts and prayers" or "praying" or whatever to a social media platform?

Even worse, is there anything more attention seeking than vaguely asking for "prayers" on a social media platform?

My prayers are answered every time the Culligan man fixes the leak in the water cooler.

I think they're helpful. Seacrest and I don't agree on much, but when my kid was sick, he texted me just about every day with thoughts and prayers. RR did as well. I was personally thankful for them and MANY others. It all means a lot when you have been brought to your knees.

Okay...that covers my second question...I can respect that side of it.

What about people that post some comment along the line of "prayers" or "praying" whenever they see some stupid news story about a minor fender bender or some other such shit?

Those are definitely mostly hollow. People think they have to say something.

That's just it. A few weeks ago, there was a decent sized accident on the Tri State around 137, which happened around 3 in the afternoon, and that's on my route home. That particular day, I had someplace to be at a certain time, which I had to take that way to make it. There is a Lake County news facebook page I follow that had the story, and as I read it, there was a note that there were no injuries. So, I made a simple post of "I hope it's cleared up for rush hour"...mostly to make sure I got alerts for any further updates in the thread. You would have thought I wished death on all involved based on the reaction of the "thoughts and prayers" brigade. They really didn't like it when I called them out on their hollow attention whoring...and references to them being SAHM's sitting around drinking wine all afternoon while watching the Real Housewives.

I agree with you Boyd,most people need to heed to Luke 18:1-8. That is how I do it. I may not respond to ever request or post that needs a prayer but it does not mean I am not praying for those that need it.

For the record, this thread has hit the CH joke limit noted in Boyd’s signature.

I like to throw out one big prayer in the morning and then deduct people from it as the day goes on.
