Don't Pray for Japan. That's stupid.

An emphatic rant about society's conditioned response to the catastrophe in Japan, and why prayer is pointless and self-serving.

@theRealAnonymousRain Some people can't donate. Some people are to stuck in a shit hole or lying in poverty to give anything and the only thing they can think of giving is a prayer or support of sorts. If people want to pray, I don't see the problem. There are so much people who have and are donating and some of these "prayers" aren't necessarily prayers but things that fall under hoping that some people can get out of the disaster alright.

This broadcast is also pointless and self-serving.

@TheDaikashido What you want or what you believe does not decide what reality is.

well said!

Yeah, I'm so glad I saw this. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw these fucking images and was shocked. Pray for Japan... What a load of fucking absoloute bollox. Praying isn't going to do FUCK ALL, but when Japan does recover, I'm sure all the religious twats will say it was because of their prayers, and not the millions of dollars donated! It makes me fucking sick how the religious people of the world come up with these horrific stupid ideas. What a load of helpless cunts. DONATE. NOT PRAY

[TheDaikashido]

reality is a projection of combined wills, so combined intent (prayer) affects the outcome of any given course of action. In fact the wind from your eyelashes can affect the other side of the world. A human being is mind body and spirit, it seems you have seriously stunted at least a third of yours. Look up "pineal gland" then pray for japan and everybody else

I want to physically help out with a shovel or finding people than to donate.
