It is a way of deflecting people from the problems . . . . instead of them thinking about what is causing the problems, they are encouraged to do something that is essentially meaningless.
Obviously someone isn't praying, probably athiests. That's why thoughts and prayers don't work, silly, not everyone is doing it right.
So it's your fault it doesn't work. Murderer.
Guilty … though as (to the best of my recollection) Madalyn Murray O’Hair said, “Hands that do are far better than hands that pray” … we Atheists are the doers. We’ll be phone-banking, walking - knocking & talking, writing checks, LTE’s, contributing to social media … in order to elect members of a political party who are ready to take this issue on!
@Varna yippie for us. Its been working like a dream so far, maybe the body count is finnally high enough.
