I'll Doubt For You |
I'm looking for a rejoinder to the "I'll pray for you" line that can be
said in reasonably civilized company. I'm taking another class on middle
eastern archaeology and I just know it's going to be crawling with
christers. When I start slagging on some of their myths, if previous
experience is any guide, I'm sure to get at least a few people saying
things like "I'll pray for you..." My inclination is to say something
like, "Thanks. I'll doubt for you as well", or "I guess I'll have to
*think* for the both of us then". Now if there were purely an online
class then one imagines that the language could get a bit more colorful.
Are there other, slighly sarcastic but still not crude things that other
folks say in response the "I'll pray 4 U..." line?

Well, having graduated with honors from the "Stix's Sledgehammer
School of Subtlety", I'd be inclined to go with the tried and true
"***** and die" line.
However, I could suggest you start keeping a tally of how many
bleating morons are mumbling into their folded hands for you. Then,
whenever another one comes out with that idiotic line, just quote how
many deluded imbeciles are already "praying for you" back to them --
and add their name to the list.
This way the more idiots preach at you, the better your repartee
becomes. I've got about 8, if memory serves, but I'm only young. ;)

"They found Noah's Ark, you know."

Or worse. I wouldn't be surprised if they were
filing complaints against you for failing to respect
their beliefs the way they don't do for you.
My inclination is to say something like, "Thanks.
I'll doubt for you as well", or "I guess I'll have to
*think* for the both of us then".
The latter.
Are there other, slighly sarcastic but still not crude

"Thanks for the warning."
"While you're down there... "
"If you have to tell a person that means it isn't working."
"And I'll sacrafice a calf for you."
"Even after I asked the forces of darkness to eat
your soul?"
"If it's not a bother, get tomorrows winning lottery
numbers while you're at it."
"The last thing I ever wanted was the image of you
on your knees."

John 14:12-14 says that if you ask for anything in
Christ's name he'll grant it. He says you can work
bigger miracles than he did. So, pray for my conversion
to Christianity this week.
If the bible is true, this must happen. If not the bible
is nonsense and Jesus's promises, useless.
Let us put all this to the test.

I would start with a simple "Why?". Find out their motivations and
goals for doing so. For one, it's good to know precisely what they're
trying to make happen. Second, I suspect you'll find they either don't
know or are actually attempting to subvert the will of their god (by
requesting that it revoke your free will and force you into their
version of Christianity), which I should think would make an
interesting revelation for them.

My response is: "Great! I'll add you to my list. Since others have
prayed for me and I'm still an atheist, it shows your prayers will be
useless."

And I'll think for you.
And I'll doubt for you.
And I'll learn for you.
And I'll masturbate for you.
And I'll live for you.
And I'll be in awe of the universe for you.
And I'll not be afraid for you.
And I'll help others for you.
And I'll laugh at your waste of time.
Some, but by far not all. Naturally, you asked for more "civilized"
responses. Being a former sailor, I have some rather more crude
responses as well. ;-)
