Texting my friend in the hospital who almost died in a car accident. (i.imgur.com)

Good thing you didn't pray. He probably would have died then.
[–]howboutme 5 points6 points7 points 9 months ago
Anyone else remember the recent study that said praying for someone with serious injuries was actually detrimental to their physical health? If I recall the study correctly, it had something to do with the psychology of the victim believing that they were much worse off than they though and would give up.
[–]Daroo425 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
yeah, that's what I was referring to. it was something along the lines that knowing people are praying for you will cause unneeded anxiety or something similar
[–]redpandapaw 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago

Good on him! I was in a car wreck on January 3rd. I crashed into a tree and was knocked out. I awoke some time after to find my car on fire, and was in immense pain. I fractured my ankle and broke my other leg trying to free myself, and had to walk about a quarter mile to the nearest house to get help(country dirt road).
My jaw was broken in half, teeth were all over the place in my mouth, both my cheekbones were broken, my nose, right shoulder, right leg in two places, and left ankle. Ended up with a rod in my right leg, plate on right shoulder, a plate in each cheek, and on my jaw. My car was burned beyond recognition, the police called my parents to find out what model of car I was in.
I can't count how many people have told me they were praying for me, or how many people have told me that God has some amazing plan for me. Many were hoping this would cause me to convert, but don't understand that I can't possibly believe in something like that. I had a similar conversation with my best friend of 15 years, and we ended up just joking about religion for an hour.

You almost killed the man with shock when you said you prayed.
[–]mgwooley 6 points7 points8 points 9 months ago
I also know this friend kind of closely. Was so relieved to see he kept his sense of humor & sense of self through all of this.
[–]SunriseLollipop 5 points6 points7 points 9 months ago
Here's to cool friends. +1
[–]nilum 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago
You: I prayed and prayed that you'd be okay.
Your Friend: You prayed I'd be okay? :)
You: sarcasm.
Your Friend: So... you hoped I was dead? :(
[–]silverence 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
I'm as atheist/agnostic/saganist as the next guy, and think that religion certainly has it's down sides and all, but I'd think giving people the small comfort of not feeling entirely helpless in the face of tragedy is one it's major pros.
I'm really glad your friend is ok man. Car accident are terrifying as fuck.
[–]Thorbinator 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Guys, you all missed the obvious joke:
Did you sacrifice a goat as well?
[–]Rflkt 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Gotcha bitch

Sorry for the ignorance, but LBH means what?
[–]Cryptonox[S] 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Loose Butt Hole. It's a term from the Comedy Central show Workaholics. And in his usage it was "Loosest Butt Hole."
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Ah I understand now.
Your friend seems pretty cool, tight butthole.

Hahaha sarcasm dude, sarcasm.
[–]johnnymd 3 points4 points5 points 9 months ago
well, you seem insufferable.

"Yea, but I didnt know which God to pray to, so I just addressed it to all of them."
[–]M0b1u5 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
Nothing but illiteracy, sarcasm and stupid.
Internets--
[–]TheGodless1 -4 points-3 points-2 points 9 months ago
Your friend said "could of". He deserved to be hit by a car.
[–]MrBenzedrine 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago
you should of pointed that out in a less sarcastic manner!
[–]blazingtruth -3 points-2 points-1 points 9 months ago
That is so meme-worthy: YOU PRAYED!?!?
Haha, was so glad to see that was his response. I was scared he was gonna become a Jesus freak and be like "my oxygen deprived brain had a vivid dream and i saw God, he is real!!"
[–]blazingtruth 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Oh yeah, and I hope he's doing well.
My mom's a pastor, so I have direct VIP access to the lair of the FSM. I'll send my hunger to the FSM for him. May he be blessed by the noodly appendage! rAmen.

Since when is cell phone use allowed in hospitals?
[–]Cryptonox[S] 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago*
They are allowed in hospitals, just not in the ICU. He was in the ICU for about two weeks and got out today, got his phone and that was the first thing we were talking about haha.
[–]routari -1 points0 points1 point 9 months ago
Sounds like the sort of person that just cries sarcasm when they say something stupid.
