Reply #67: Prayer

[Malva Zebrina]

just pray and it will all be taken care of. No need to do anything at all. Pray for the Muslims? Iwonder what the Muslims are praying for? I think they are praying that their god overtakes Bush's god and wins back their country in Iraq.

Starving people cannot subsist on prayer. They need food. They need health care--and women need to have their particular needs met, before they birth a child who has AIDS. But, condoms are sinful, so pray that these women come to that realization and are forced to carry through a pregnancy and promote AIDS.

Prayer is nice--does little but keep more people from outright condemnation of evil. Just pray--for your OWN selfish sanity and let the god sort them out--according to his will, of course.

What are the prayers for? To win the war? I am sure lots of people are praying so that we win the war in Iraq and against the boogey man of terrorism. I am sure that many are praying for those people to be killed and conquored. It is only right that they be killed.

All goes to point out that lots of people pray, all for different reasons. I am sure those who prayed that Bush be elected are certain that their prayers were answered. Right?

And now they are certain that a god is certainly listening to them and granting them their petition. Sure. And it looks as if THEIR prayers were answered. And the Pope's prayers or those who follow his directions were NOT.

Splain please and I don't want to hear that a god works in mysterious ways, because that is pure poppycock.


What is needed here, and what was not forthcoming, is an outright condemnation of the policies of an evil man,a war criminal, George Bush, and a country, the USA, that has lost it's soul, andm what is needed is some concrete action to put this insane maniac, away in a mental hospital.

It was not done in Nazi Germany by the Pope and it was not done here with this message either.
