Then contrast that with your use of the occasion of the death of the man who made that speech to make lame - and trite - snark about prayer and religion.

Then self-delete this dreck.

Do you not understand that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is, in fact, a LEGITIMATE religion?
It is not snark, it is a genuinely solemn statement.
And I am, in fact, a fully ordained minister of this church. I have performed a couple of weddings too!
So just because someone does not agree with another's religion, does not mean that it is snarky.
I shall not delete my post. It is as genuine as any other mainstream religious person's post.
Perhaps some of us should be more tolerant of others' beliefs. I believe that this is one of the basics that Uncle Mario taught us.

Afterlife

The Pastafarian conception of Heaven includes a beer volcano and a stripper factory. The Pastafarian Hell is similar, except that the beer is stale and the strippers have sexually transmitted diseases.
