Parliament offers prayer for miners

[ThinkingFox]

It's so great to see a parliament praying. It's nice to see that everybody's so humble and the members are setting their differences aside while a prayer is going on.

TOP HEADLINES YOUTUBE SAYS. i DON'T THINK SO. MAYBE 3 WEEKS AGO

[knoose]

What are you praying about? So your god took their lives, gives lives and controls the end of your lives....so what have you done here?

Are you asking something? Begging?

The people that believe a god would be that pathetic are not as evolved as some other humans. Its so basic.

[cerik]

@knoose your a bastard, I hope no one listens when you cry out in your time of sadness

.

[knoose]

@cerik Would Jesus say that?

[strosse]

@knoose No he wouldn't :)

[Tuumeke]

@knoose It is a Maori song of farewell sung at most funerals translation English Translation Show your cross to me. Let it shine there in the darkness. To there I will be looking. In life, in death let me rest in thee.

You know whats really fucking sad? YOU MOTHER FUCKERS who are happy to sit back on your rich fat asses and prey for some thing to happen instead of fucking doing some thing with all that fucking money you cunts covet. FUCK YOU ALL!!

[xjollybobx]

@xjollybobx Your all a bunch of worthless pieces of shit.

If a prayer is the best your parliament can offer, they you should overthrow the government.

[cerik]

@hr1100 you are godless and empty I hope that God over trows your life

[hr1100]

@cerik Oh, come on, as if God is not overloaded enough will the endless hit lists, now you want to burden him even more? Don't make his existence so hard, wish for less killing.

How great thou art...

[mrchiefofsinners]

Please continue to pray for the miners' families in their time of great sadness.

[imyawning]

so sad,but it's good that everybody in new zealand are united in reverence for the miners and their familys

[holycrossbaybeh]

All is said and done but.... the saddest day in all of new zealands history we lost brave men that went in that mine and worked a living these heros are what new zealand has always had

[mgwmgw3]

@panchdaman no In New Zealand there is no official separation. While there is no official religion, Parliament is opened with a prayer, our national anthem is a Christian hymn (that was chosen by referendum), our flag features 2 crosses and our founding document, the Treat of Waitangi only came about through the work of the church. New Zealand has not constitutional problem at all with people expressing their religion while executing the business of the Crown.

amazing to see our politicians showing humanity in a cultural way.... for those outside of NZ, this is a rare event and one that won't be forgotten.  Whakaria Mai To ripeka ki au Tiaho mai ra roto i te po hei konei au titiro atu ai ora mate hei au koe noho ai Whakaria mai to ripeka ki au tiaho mai ra roto i te po he konei au titro atu ai ora mate hei au koe noho ai these are the words to the song they were singing and is the Maori version of 'How Great Thou Art'
