It shouldn’t be news to long-time Twitchy readers that comedian and “Saturday Night Live” alumn Norm Macdonald believes in God, nor a surprise that that knowledge drives atheists crazy. Wednesday, Macdonald tweeted that his prayers were with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diagnosed with a tumor in his abdomen.

@normmacdonald So you are actually praying for @TOMayorFord, on your knees and such?

@garthtohms @normmacdonald I thought Norm was more of a free thinker.

@normmacdonald @garthtohms How can you freely think if your mind is bound to a God?

@normmacdonald Thanks for your prayers for @TOMayorFord. We are all God's children and serve a purpose. Also, thanks for live-tweeting golf!

@normmacdonald is getting insulted for praying for a sick man in the hospital. Kind of sad. Had come to expect more from atheists/agnostics.

@normmacdonald Sad that wishing well and praying for a struggling man is controversial. Thanks for setting a positive example.

@exjon @normmacdonald Not controversial. But a few atheists with inferiority complexes are easily threatened by theism.

@MarkAndrewFritz Most atheists I know are cool. But there are several anti-theists who aren't as tolerant. @normmacdonald
— jon gabriel (@exjon) September 12, 2014
@exjon @normmacdonald I agree. The cool ones don't show up on Twitter berating people for praying.

@normmacdonald Your ideology & expression of goodwill expressed in prayer matters not to me, sir. What I have seen is a generous heart. ✌️
— SJ (@SuperJuanderer) September 12, 2014
I've come to the conclusion that @normmacdonald is a decent human being. A rare thing most places; nearly extinct on Twitter.

@normmacdonald The power of prayer is real! Thank you for spreading the good word!
— Mike Fornelos (@mikefornelos) September 12, 2014
@normmacdonald don't let the prayer police ferguson you!
— Jeff Saxour (@therealsaxour) September 12, 2014
So peole are giving @normmacdonald shit for praying for @TOMayorFord. As an atheist, I say…go Norm!

@normmacdonald You're a good guy, Norm.

@normmacdonald says he prays and people attack him for not being a "free thinker." Stay cool, Norm, I admire you so much right now.
