"Don't pray for Japan"

[Jonouchi Katsuya]

This goes both ways. Regardless of what we think... it is best to try to get along and appreciate what the other has to offer.

Wow you clap for me??? Thanks!

Makes me feel better on a kinda bitter day.

All social statistics I've seen indicate that people of faith send money more often and in larger amounts than atheists do. That doesn't diminish the statements but it suggests that atheists in general practically do less for those who are suffering. Ayn Rand's objectivism (a form of atheism which has greatly influenced American Capitalism) is an example of the type of thining that might contribute to this.

I know this is late... but...

Though this isn't necessarily true all the time. Look at Bill Gates- He has retired to become a full time philanthropist and he is not a Christian... in fact he is an atheist.

But, as someone who is not Christian ( I am Buddhist) I believe that Prayer really works. Sending good feelings and vibes towards and for another person or country like Japan should always be done if you can't do anything else. And in a big way, it means more than money.

I find obnoxious people (not Atheists) who say such things to be rather idiotic... though they may be the enlightened ones... who knows.

I hope you are all still praying for others- especially those going through great suffering.

He is actually agnostic

Well, right on the border there.
