Prayer?

[Reforged]

Raphael, please take the kudos I just awarded you and multiply it by any number you like, for articulating so clearly how real emotionally-charged human beings react when faced with nightmarish events. Such points are likely to fall on stony ground, I fear, since clearly we're up against pathetically and pathologically ingrained indoctrination which must be defended against all reason no matter what the cost. I can't quite tell whether this intellectually cowardly Lion is immoral or simply amoral; though I have my suspicions.

Thanks Stimbo. I won't deny I died alittle inside when I attempted to don the mantle of a moral and emotionally healthy human being but I feel alot better now I'm my monstrous and sadistic self again.
Also alittle hungry, maybe I'll fetch one of the theists I keep tied up in my basement for special occasions.

On a serious note, it does infuriate me how someone is willing to degrade the pain of the lives that little girls disappearance has touched to make prayer seem more valid than it obviously is through a rather poorly thought out line of reasoning.
Anyone sincerely praying for Madeline would be praying for her safe return. No question.
Those prayers are simply not answered.
