Just dumped a local group from my life forever on Facebook. What a bunch of ignorant people. It started with a woman asking for help to feed her children because they ran out of money and the food bank is over limit and gives very little now. Well all kinds of twats jumped on her telling her to get a job and much more. They no literally nothing about the families situation and they don't care, they live to look down on others and attack them for daring to be poor, or disabled, or whatever. I've seem far too much of it over the two years I've been a member and I'm freaking done with it. No more. This is every day someone gets attacked by ass-hats looking to offend anyone they can. You would think there was no mods at all, but there is. They seem to only take down posts for people looking to sell things and so on, while allowing businesses to post ads all they want. Not one of this group of malevolent twats has been booted or even restricted. I'm in it to ask question...

The self same person who posted this on his wall went off and off about how it's offensive to have someone say "I'll pray for you". The theory here being that it's a useless act and you are doing nothing to help the person. Since when is compassion a useless act? You are showing your concern for the person at a time when you can't actually do anything for them. Who would not say a comforting word or encouragement to a child fighting cancer for example? You are not actually doing anything to "help them", so it must then be a useless act and you should just let the child suffer alone with his or her fears. That would be if you followed this persons logic. The fact is, those with no religion follow two camps. The non believers and the atheists. A no believer will just smile and say "no thanks" when you offer a prayer. The atheist on the other hand will take the opportunity to become over the top butt-hurt over it all and freak the hell ...
