Homeless People & Prayers For Chile - Part 2

So I thought I'd give a shot at doing videos in the car. Seeing as how I don't have much time to do videos, I'd do them while I travel.

In this first video (in 2 parts) I talk about an unfortunate event that happened to me today. A homeless woman came up to my literally in tears, crying that she was cold and had no money. I didn't think I had any cash on me, so I told her I was sorry and she left. Later, at the store, I took out my bank card and realized I had a bunch of 1ones in there. I felt horrible...

I also discuss the idea of prayer and its implications on the situation in Chile. I feel that prayer is an impotent method of "helping" people, and that it's lazy and merely an attempt to make one's self feel better about not doing anything tangible to help people.

Let me know what you think. Feel free to comment and subscribe!

[TheSkepticalAtheist]

God gets the credit when good things happen, and people get blamed when bad things happen. God is like humanity's abusive husband. He's good to us because He's merciful, and He punishes us because we deserve it...

[namitsu1]

When people do get helped, even when it's clear like day that they were helped by PEOPLE, some people STILL prefer giving the credit to god. When medical cures or wonders happen it's the scientists we should be praising. They did all the hard work, without god. They deserve the praise.
