The worst thing about Italian earthquake...

[abaris]

I don't need to walk in the shoes of others. I have had more than my share of shit to deal with.

I certainly didn't mean anyone already showing empathy. I meant the ones obviously being of the opinion that atheism is more important than showing empathy and who obviously aren't willing to consider that even prayer might do some good in the situation the victims find themselves in. For religious people it isn't wasted and some people tend to forget that. For religious people it's a source of consolation and that's all that matters in the end.
