Remembrance day, a great day in the year that just for a few hours brings everybody together to remember those who died so that we can have the freedoms that we have today. They died because they did something, actions make things happen, prayers don't. If prayers worked then we could all have just stayed at home. So why is there always a service involved in which we thank almighty God? Thank God for what?

Same thing I ask when the religious folks thank their god when the surgeon helps save their relative. How about thanking science and the doctor for saving a life and leave god out of it?????

Religion and war.
They seem to be inseparable, and mostly, completely unnecessary.
The last "necessary" war was WWII, imo.
Ever notice how both are run by rich, old, (usually) white men?
I have no use for any of it.
The people who start the wars are rarely the ones who have to go fight them.

too bad it wasn't like the old days when kings & the aristocrats had to actually lead the soldiers into battle & some got of the kings actually got killed on the battlefield.
pretty sure there was an english king killed in battle as late as the 18th century.
even napolean was with his men in those battles, if not actually leading them in the front lines.
can you imagine someone like rump declaring war if it meant that he had to put his fat ass on the line in actual battle.
Nothing makes sense when it comes to religion...this is just another case in point. The winning side prays to god for the dead soldiers who gave their lives, and the losing side does the same. All are sent off to war with prayers to god to keep them safe, and for god to let them win, both sides pray for the same thing...yet both believe god is on their side! Why can’t they see that if god was so powerful he would either let them all die, or all survive. It must be obvious to even the most fervent believer, that prayer has no effect against bombs and guns.
