Your opinion on "Prayer Shaming"?

[Darkstar]

So what do you think?  Is it ok to tell people to get off their asses and do something instead of praying?  Or are we "shaming" people who are really just trying to offer their condolences?   

I'm pretty much with you on this one. The average people who just say they are praying because they want to help (since they can't actually do anything about it) are a wholly different story from the politicians who say they are praying because they don't want to help (despite that they can actually do something about it). Someone who happens to be a politician and says they are praying but also tries to actually help is fine.

 Do you tell friends or family how you feel....and how do you feel about it?

Uh, no...

Is "prayer shaming" even a thing, or are Christians again trying to play the "you are oppressing us by saying mean things!" card?

They're just whining. It isn't even as though Obama said that prayers were bad, just that they were insufficient to solve major problems on their own. I swear, some people have such thin skin...
