God had nothing to do with it. It wasn't a prayer answered, nor was it a miracle from god. It was the result of an unselfish donation, which allowed highly skilled doctors to perform the true "miracle" of science.

Although I'm sad for her, for losing her son and at such a young age at that; i fucking hate that whole "I prayed to god and he answered" stance. It's down-right stupid and egotistical and I can't stand it. She asked for a sign and god let her hear her son's heart beating. I'm sure that when she prayed for her son to be brought back to life, the prayer was also answered............

Whatever helps her through her grief perhaps? Atheists can also be humanists unconcerned with the reverence and respect for faith and the divine that others have, whatever their grasp or intelligence.

The question would be, "Can you be a socially-acceptable and respectful atheist and keep from saying something similar in insectoid, atheist form which would belittle the woman's faith in God during her grief, or would you simply rant at the first mention of some higher power, like most obnoxious atheist motherfuckers do??

...the stereotype would be my own here mind you, and I am not suggesting you are one of these motherfuckers, just that it started to sound like it ☔

^upvote^ for organ donation!

I smell soft news!
