I take no issue with people turning to prayer, right now. However, keep this in mind.

5. HAH! Thanks for the smile.

I am fairly sure it will recur, too, when I DO pray.

My 5th Grade science teacher was a nun who told us in no uncertain terms that science, like everything else, originated with God, and studying and practicing science was yet another way to learn about and connect to God.

I have found an abundance of truth in that.

appreciatively,

7. That was one smart and special nun!

I saw a video, the other day, of a some televangelist's wife INSISTING that all people needed to do is invoke some scripture passage and they would be immune from this virus! (I think it was Mrs. Kenneth Copeland, but I could be wrong.) I say, invoke away, but do it from a distance, and WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!

Seriously, though, that kind of thinking scares the beejeebees out of me. I'm already envisioning a massive outbreak coming from one of those mega churches.

8. Could happen, yep.

I've been rather sourly amused by the LACK of God-botherers and self-appointed Divine Mouthpieces telling us exactly who is being punished by a Vengeful Divine Sociopath and for what particular sins.

This dearth has been particularly acute since the news of the CPAC transmission chain...

cynically,

9. I've heard that the Arabs have a saying

"Trust in God, but tie your camel."

So... pray all you want as long as you take real world precautions.
