Q: Etiquette question about "commun gesture" and quality of answers

ÆlisI'm talking about this question: Pointing the index fingers to one another as a way to excuse oneself: is this a common gesture? At first look, I thought this was a mostly valid question, however, after seeing the answers, I think there is a problem with it. Indeed, the answers seem to be opini...

FWIW, "I'm going to do this thing anyway, even if the person I'm doing it for is bothered by it and asks me not to" is one of the definitions of "rude behavior", regardless of what the actual action is. — Erik 2 mins ago

@JeroendeK Why would I need to hide my faith and lie? I am not offering a secular form of support, nor do I think it is appropriate to yield to extreme form of political correctness, which is nothing else than an aversion for religion. — luchonacho 8 mins ago

Marked this comment as flaggable (tp). Currently marked 1tps/0fps. beep boop My human overlords won't let me flag that, so you'll have to do it yourself.
It's unknown to Germans too. — Volker Siegel 2 mins ago

Thanks for the detailed answer. Contains a lot food for thoughts. What you said about family ( 'teams are family and family members don't have anything nasty sickness ') is definitely TRUE. (+1 for this). I need to digest your answer more to make sure that I understand everything correctly. — Bogo 16 secs ago

why do you want to do this? For him or for yourself? Because if you wanna do something for him, then do what is best for him: tell him in a normal, non-religious way something. If you want to do the prayer, be aware that you're doing it for yourself and not for him. Don't you think it should be the other way around? If you truly believe in the power, the power will also unfold if you pray without him knowing ;) — Mayou36 2 mins ago

I don't think that this is an answerable question at this stage. We need more details about what "type" of atheist he is. Because many atheists have widely varying opinions on this subject your colleague could take your comment any way. The below answers are all good in their own respects but without any more detail, there's no telling which one should have the outcome you desire. I'm glad you care about your colleagues feelings in this respect and I do hope that they return the favor. — Kei Nagase 1 min ago

@BKlassen I see where you're coming from, but I disagree. When I hope that things improve, I'm acknowledging the misfortune, but I'm also hoping that you, fate, the universe, or blind luck intercede on your behalf. Someone praying for you is doing the same, they just have a more cohesive vision for what those last three would be. — Carl Kevinson 2 mins ago

+1 for possibly saddening someone. Saying you'll pray for someone is basically an admission that there's nothing anyone can do other than hoping for chance to go your way. — l0b0 34 secs ago
