Sardonic definition of prayer makes the rounds online
Original: Praying: The only socially acceptable way of letting God know He isn’t nearly as thoughtful or compassionate as you. —Mr
A quip attributed to satirical character Mrs. Betty Bowers is circulating on social media, defining prayer as "the only socially acceptable way of letting God know He isn't nearly as thoughtful or compassionate as you." The one-liner mocks prayer as an implicit complaint about divine decisions, striking a chord with atheism-leaning users who shared it widely enough to draw fresh attention to the joke.
Why now: The sharp, ironic take on religion is being shared and liked as relatable humor among secular users.
