• I remember what it was now. I was caught just a few minutes of CLTV
  news tonight and they were talking to some chick from Utica about
  natural disasters. She mentioned how strangers are really nice and they
  help and say a prayer for them. Now, suppose somebody decided they had
  no time or money to give, but instead said “I will keep you in my
  prayers” or ” I will pray for you”. Isn’t that pretty much the
  equivalent of doing nothing? Honestly, there is no proof that prayer
  even works (some would say it does, others like me say i doesn’t, but
  the fact of the matter is, its all just opinion) so what you are
  saying, is that if you are just praying, then you are really not doing
  anything. You are doing just as much as the slob that sits there
  drinkin’ beer and watching pro wrestling, the only difference is that
  you are giving them the false hope that your prayers are going to
  actually make a difference. The sad and funny part, is that the people
  you are praying for, actually thank you and really believe you are
  doing your part to make a difference. So, instead of just praying, how
  about giving money or time, in addition to praying.
