It is not just Paris we should pray for - It is the whole world.

A heartfelt poem on the brutal Paris attacks moved me to tears:

1. This was beautiful.

It's disgusting that people can call the refugees the people in which commit these atrocities. But of course, we have to make uneducated generalizations.

3. welcome to du

2. make it so

4. Prayer clearly doesn't work

Imagine no religion...it's easy if you try...

[NightWatcher]

5. Prayer- (noun) an act that allows the participants feel good w/out actually doing anything

[Skittles]

14. the absolute epitome of "HOLIER THAN THOU"

[FLPanhandle]

6. People trying to impress imaginary sky daddies is part of the problem

The world needs less praying, not more.

17. Agreed 100%

7. thanks for posting this

Saw it on facebook and thought about sharing it but I really avoid politics on that site since most of my participation there is due to my job.

These dominos just keep crashing down.

I weep.

8. K&R Thank-you!

9. Prayer is an absolute waste of time.

It's feel-good bullshit that lets people believe they're helping when in reality they're doing nothing but stroking their own egos.

Prayer is the problem, not the solution.

13. I guess you didn't like President Obama's response.

We don’t yet know all the details of what has happened. We have been in contact with French officials to communicate our deepest condolences to the families of those who have been killed, to offer our prayers and thoughts to those who have been wounded.

16. He says what he has to say to appease the religious.

So what?

10. An injury to one is an injury to all. n/t

[gregcrawford]

12. I believe that's a part of the Quran...

... and if so, it is one to which these mutant monsters do not subscribe. As much as it saddens me to think it, nothing less than their total annihilation will bring an end to this sanctimonious savagery.

Oh, and FUCK religion in all its malevolent forms. It is the greatest fomentor of hatred and intolerance in the history of humanity.
