PLEASE HELP PRAY FOR THE VICTIMS

Damn, that sucks. A storm shelter would be a good idea.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Prayer accomplishes nothing! If there is a God who wants the victims to be happy, he'll help them out whether you ask him to or not. But seeing as how this "God" character doesn't seem to be using his magical superpowers to resurrect their dead loved ones or miraculously rebuild their houses, how about getting off your knees and doing something yourself? If you really want to help these people out, send some money or write them a consoling letter. But please don't talk to your invisible friend thinking that's going to help them out somehow. Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer.

You don't get the point. Just because someone is in your payers, doesn't mean you expect god to come down and make everything better. sheesh. It's just a sign of repsect and compasion for people in need. Whether you pray to a god, or not, praying can be as simple as being grateful for what you have and remembering those who've lost so much. My thoughts are with the people in TN. Best wishes to everyone.

I live with the philosiphy of "All things happen for a reason"... All affected people are in my prayers,I pray they find something good out of all this and focus on it...

Be strong,god gives us as much as he thinks we can handle,be strong,move forward and prosper...

What's the point of prayer if you don't expect God to react to it?

It's just a sign of repsect and compasion for people in need.

I'm just saying, if you really want to show respect and compassion, get off your knees and go help them. Thinking isn't going to help anybody.

Whether you pray to a god, or not, praying can be as simple as being grateful for what you have and remembering those who've lost so much. My thoughts are with the people in TN. Best wishes to everyone.

You want to remember those who have lost so much? Then think about the fact that a child dies of starvation somewhere in the world every 5 seconds. Or the fact that 350 people die of AIDS every hour. Why are the people in Tennessee in your thoughts but not the Africans who have it much much worse than they do? Personally, I don't like to waste my time worrying about the hardships of people I don't know and will never meet. Sure, I could spend my whole day reading about and mourning over the miserable lives of complete strangers, but I have a life of my own and I'd like to enjoy it while I still have it.

who ever said that other people around the world aren't in my thoughts? I didn't. I'm very grateful for the life I have and I don't intend on taking it for granted. I've made my post. If you can't understand it then fine. You don't have to do anything. Especially make pointless posts that are aimed at doing nothing but causing trouble where it's not needed.

[Oneironaut]

What makes you think I just want to cause trouble? I'm giving my honest opinion to someone who told me to pray in order to help others. And that opinion is that the real way to help others is to get off your knees and actually do something. If you don't like my opinion, you are perfectly free to ignore it. Nobody's forcing you to read it.
