Stop telling peope you are praying for them!!!!!

After today I'm so done with this religious bible thumping bullshit. This guy at work came up to me randomly and said he is praying for me and he hopes I read the bible and find salvation because the path I'm taking is leading to hell. I felt so offended and I really wanted to just slap the shit out of him and scream at him to wake the fuck up and stop believing in fairy tales.
I know this will sound arrogant but I'm 26 very educated and a successful scientist. I have never prayed to a god for anything even when times where tough and I feel like I've done something good with my life. I've never stolen anything, cheated, been in trouble with the police, and I respect all people no matter how different they are from me. But because I don't believe in an imaginary being I'm destined to burn for eternity. Yet most of these assholes are horrible hateful people and they get paradise?
Anyway I responded in a scientific manner. I asked him if he knew how old the universe was. Obviously he didn't know the answer. I said time is infinite but the universe is 14 billion years and the earth 4 billion. You didn't exist until about 20 years ago. You saw 14 billion years plus infinity of complete nothingness no consciousness just darkness, and when you die you will go back to that prior state of darkness for eternity. So stop reading a single book that's over 2,000 years old and pick up one of millions of science books that explain how the world and life actually works.
My tone wasn't very nice either so I feel bad about it and I think I'll probably apologize even though I don't want to. Sorry for the rant but I needed to take it out somewhere.

At it's simplest a prayer can mean the person has you specifically in their thoughts in a positive manner. I'd be cool with that. No one really knows what happens after death, to say it'll just be infinite darkness is just as stupid as the heaven hell idea. No one knows, maybe there is a multiverse and dying allows people to traverse the multiverse. Anyway, someone saying they'll pray for you is an act of kindness based off their belief. It's a gesture of kindness man

People can pray for me all they want and I will thank them kindly. Tell me I am going to hell and you can eat a dick, I feel no compunction to show tolerance for some rude idiot who would ever tell another such a thing.
The whole "trying to save your soul" part is absolute bullshit too. They are pridefully seeking to stoke their own egos while holding others in judgement - something reserved for GOD, according to their book.
I have found many of this type of "Christian" don't even know the bible very well, and they clearly pick and chose what to believe and ignore. I have known and do know many a great Christian but this particular type get under my skin.

I don't like being talked to like that as much as the next guy but a sarcastic "oh gee, thanks" with maybe an eye roll would have sufficed. And fact of the matter is you don't know for sure what happens either. Passing that off as truth is ignorant. In my opinion anyone who believes they are 100 percent certain in what happens after you die is an ignoramus. Whether they believe in an afterlife or nothingness or a flying dick saucer that collects souls, or whatever.
Get over yourself. Once you realize you don't know everything you become much more intelligent in my book.

It is kindness when someone in the family is sick or dying or you are going through hard times. It is not kind to tell someone you are praying for them because their path in life is leading to hell. That is not cool at all.

I never said science explains the afterlife because it doesn't. I used an anecdote to explain. To me and I'm pretty sure everyone else in the world everything was dark before you were born (unless you are one of those people claiming to have been reincarnated or whatever.) Science tells us the universe in billions of years old and it makes my head hurt thinking that an infinite time has passed until I became a conscious being.

That is implying that he cannot learn anything from the Bible because it is 2,000 years old. Most of our scientific books are less than a decade old, some are older but a lot of the stuff coming out is new theory's and relatively new.
Before you think that I am some bible thumping christian, for the record I am non religious. The bible can be used as a philosophy for life and can lead people to go on to commit many great acts of kindness, just as it has to go on to lead to many violent and evil acts.
I'm just stating it sounds like belittling his beliefs.

C'mon man the brain is everything. The fact that we can even talk about a complex subject like existence or after death is a product of our sophisticated brain. When you cut brain functions you cease to exist. You ever been under a general anesthetic for hours and then wake up? That always tripped me out.
You didn't have a brain before birth therefore no sense of time or existence or nothing. Once your brain dies the same thing will happen. Its the same reason near death experiences are total bullshit. Those people still had a functioning brain under stress giving them these hallucinations.

Bro... believing in darkness after death is not a fairy tale like the tooth fairy, santa, and god.
Actually there is no piece of science that says the universe was created from nothing. We don't know what happened before the big bang or if a "bang" even occurred. What we do know is that the universe is rapidly expanding as we have mathemetical and somewhat observable evidence that show all matter started from some kind of infinitely small singularity 14bya. This doesn't mean the universe come from nothing.
However the Net energy of the universe = 0 and I think that is where the confusion is. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed and this is fact. Frankly I don't want to go one with all this sci jargon so I suggest you also read more science books.

I think the Big Bang theory attempts to explain that and by this post, I feel like you are in favor of religion which there is no science to support either.
Truth of the matter is that we really have no idea what the bigger picture is.. only speculation as been stated

yeah pris argues what he wants, when he wants. He doesn't believe anything he says and just plays devils advocate. I have been calling him out on this for years.
He loves to come off as this know-it-all but in the end, unfortunately, he doesn't know what he thinks. He just likes to show off to the shroomery that he can play any side he wants and come up with bullshit "facts" to support whatever he pleases.

I think a strong knowledge of history should accompany any scientific degree. It seems like people of science get caught up in perceiving theory as fact. So many times throughout history people have been laughed at for their stance on a certain subject and later was proven as accurate. Also it goes the other way many times have mass people believed a certain theory as fact later to be found out they were a bunch of dumbasses and dead wrong. Of course the world is flat blah blah. And this is going on today. Future people will look back on our time and laugh at how stupid we where because most people believed something to be true. Maybe it will be global warming? Who the hell knows. All I know is that people have been wrong throughout history and we are not the exception. We believe we are more intelligent and have better technology to be more certain of things. And we do, but we will be proved wrong on alot of things we perceive as fact.

I actually agree with your stance on history. I'm a pretty big on history. Which is why this quote probably goes to the idea of god. In the future people will laugh at us for believing in god just like we laugh at the Romans and Greeks for having all their ridiculous gods.
Science has giving us everything we have today, its the reason I'm able to type this to you and you can see it almost instantaneously and we don't even know each other. To say that people in the future are gonna look at our science and laugh is incorrect. Although they may laugh at how primitive our science is. Modern science is only almost 200 years old its still young. There is more to be discovered and I think eventually we may be able to bring someone dead back and then we will finally know. We already have cryo for the dead. Watch when we bring one back!
I bet all my money on total darkness.

I never said they would look back on our science and laugh. They will probably mark this time as one of great technological advances. But some of the other crap we put out there may be laughed at. I mean every year another disease comes out and is supposed to kill everyone like swine flu and bird flu and what have you. A lot of people believed all the hype when it was going on. Now it looks foolish. I know the media had a lot to do with that but the concept applies. And again with you and this religious crap. People at laugh at what we call a god but they will still believe in some sort of higher power. Just like a few people think the Greeks had ridiculous gods but at thw same time they believe in a Christian god.
It's not going away. You can't science god away. As much as you want it to be gone its not going to happen. People always believed in a higher power and they always will. Your fighting a battle you can't win.

I send out good vibes to people sometimes, If they are sick I try and make them better or liven their spirits. There's things we don't comprehend, once I sent out visual images and thoughts of triangles to my friend and then I asked through snap to send back a drawing of the first geometric shape she thinks of and she sent me a drawing of a triangle.lol

Dont apologize.
If he really came to you out of the blue, then he's trolling you. Most religious people only say "I'll pray for you" after they hear you have bad news, like a family member passing on, an illness or other calamity.
Your coworker is a jerk. Return the favor. Tell HR that he's making you feel uncomfortable. You had an unpleasant encounter, he's going to have a tarnished employee record.
For the record what sect of Christianity does that dick subscribe too?

Precisely. People want their beliefs heard so they yell about them to whomever whenever. Then when people don't listen they get butt hurt and yell louder. And the worst part is they've got no evidence either way. None. Neither side does.

I completely agree with just about everything you said. First though there aren't "new" diseases coming out. The flu virus has always been with us, same with measels, ebola, e.t.c Only thing is they mutate and sometimes become more infectious. This already is a perfect example of evolution at the micro level! We can develop new drugs for them but nature always wins and the pathogens develop resistance. The hype comes from the media and fearful people. Every scientist interviewed on the new was downplaying the outbreak, a big example is the director of the CDC look it up on youtube.
On a side note remember all these stupid anti-vaccers begging for an ebola vaccine?

There are many "gods" but I do believe we were altered genetically by what we would call aliens long ago.. Who was the one who designed our Dna is that our god or his boss? Can we choose our gods and do things that would make him/her or neither happy and in turn be favored by them and in some way they interfere with our lives. Are we pawns in a great big simulator. RL simulator where they can tap into us through implants and have us fallow their will? Crazy to think, but with our technology we can do many things with the brain.

I do believe there is life out there, even intelligent life, there must be! I just don't think they can visit us, at least not with our primitive knowledge of physics. There is a theory with some support called panspermia, which is that microbes can travel from planet to planet and colonize it. As for DNA, we already know it came from RNA but how RNA originated isn't quite known. Although a lot of evidence shows that RNA can form from basic chemistry it's really nice when you see the process! TBH I think a highly intelligent extraterrestrial creating us is far more plausable than that psycho Yahweh from the bible.
