Pray for Muamba (or any other person that's been fucked over)

[Napoléon]

I'm assuming most of the people here have heard about Fabrice Muamba, if not, I guess go find out somewhere.

Also I should of posted on this sooner, more relevant to the time, but whatever.

Anyway.

Isn't it ironic that so many people say that it's a miracle that Fabrice Muamba is still alive and that we should pray for him, yet they forget that it must of been god who fucked him over in the first place. People are also quick to attribute such amazing recoveries (he was dead for around 80 minutes) to miracles, rather than the brilliant work of paramedics and doctors, and ofcourse medical science. They say "Pray for Muamba". Because we somehow want god to change his infallible plan. That or 'praying' simply makes us feel like we are doing something to help this guy.



The thing which sickened me most about all of this, was that the Muamba family said, "that they would first like to thank God for helping Fabrice recover". Fuck the paramedics who rushed onto the pitch to save his life, it was the Almightly Lawd who saved him.

ARGHHHH!

So much idioticness in the world.

I more than any slightly disappointed by the whole thing. I thought we were past all this prayer helps bullshit here.

Its a way of feeling like your doing something when youre helpless.

Or to put it another way.

Its just superstition.

Yes, prayer is mental masturbation. It doesn't really do anything useful other than making the people doing it feel good.

He's african and footballers and the fans are generally mental pond life so don't worry, but do worry when British MP's think it was faith healing http://www.peoplesrepublicofsouthdevon.c...l-adverts/

That's what makes me laugh. Shit loads of people on my facebook, people who aren't even religious, are plastering my news feed with "Let's all pray for Muamba". People just jump on the bandwagon to make themselves feel self righteous.

Yeah basically. Dead for about 80 minutes but the doctors managed to revive him. Doubt they'd of taken the time to revive one of us mere mortals if it was us in that situation.

Here's a hint for all the praying assholes. If the doctors had just stood there he still be fucking DEAD.
