re: Democrats say prayers to God aren't enough

We pray as a statement of our basic humanity, to extend our altruistic self and to express compassion for others . It’s a very basic human instinct , an expression of dignity and respect and extends across all human cultures. One does not even need to be religious or particularly spiritual to engage in this simple act of human decency, one just needs to not be an arrogant and self- absorbed nihilist.

Anybody who choses to condescend and hurl Progressive platitudes about the irrelevance of prayer to people in their time of suffering and despair is likely to be a huge part of the problem. Anything besides sincere and patient thoughts and prayers of compassion is misplaced and a sign that anger and arrogance has replaced fundamental decency.
