I thought about saying “you know it’s a grift when they collect personal information and leak it.” According to their Bible, you don’t need an app to pray. They say church (or a covenant, I forget, it’s been 30+ years since I read the KJV) is when any two people come together to talk about Jesus (sorry!). So, where does an app fit in? And why does that app need your personally identifiable information (referred to as PII in industry). Wouldn’t an all-knowing God already have it?

But you don’t have to know it’s a grift… I feel like this is proof the Vatican (or whoever made this app on their behalf, and thus speak on their behalf… and the Pope allegedly speaks on God’s behalf) themselves know it’s a grift. Because why would they need your PII?

I know, fools and their money are soon parted… just saw this on /all and figured the Fediverse’s top Atheism comm should have it.

    Its not special pleading if its ACTUALLY special.

    We are not of a different nature. For man has the nature of man, and a pig the nature of a pig.

      But it’s not actually special, evidently. Evidently, it does not exist, and special pleading is your excuse for believing it.

      We are not of a different nature. For man has the nature of man, and a pig the nature of a pig.

      I have the nature of me, you have the nature of you. It’s arbitrary, meaningless.

      You haven’t answered anything. I can just say the nature of the universe is the universe. The nature of god is that he does not exist.

      Try getting more specific.
