if you dont believe in god thats fine but when extremely horrible things have happened and people are praying for the lost souls of children, it is not the time to speak up. it is not just “stating your opinion” it’s being an asshole

I reblog this as an atheist who really wishes other atheists would shut the fuck up and let people deal with tragedy in their own way that hurts no one.

Aaaaand the opposite is also true. If a horrible tragedy befalls an atheist, don’t try to use it as an opportunity to lead them to Jesus.

BOTH OF THESE ARE SOOOO IMPORTANT JUST LET PEOPLE GRIEVE !!!

i fully support people being able to vent

but i also firmly support a person’s right to say “hey, i really would rather not hear this right now” for any reason, so if you ever don’t want me to mindlessly ramble about how much my life sucks PLEASE feel free to tell me because i strongly think that helping someone deal with their problems should be VOLUNTARY

Tip: If it is a you-thing, make that clear. One phrase I’ve found useful in my personal life is “I don’t have the capacity to be a load-bearing component at this time.” It’s a little stuffy, but it makes it crystal clear where the problem is: capacity. It’s not about not-wanting to help, it’s not-having-the ability-to-can-even.
