They have minds and had their consciousness with them before going on with their crimes, they thought about the pain they will inflict and chose to either enjoy it or suppress it. They are not innocent, Losty. They don't deserve my prayer because they are guilty.
By your logic, you shouldn’t pray for anyone, everyone is guilty in Abrahamic religions. Everyone is a sinner and all sins apart from blasphemy are equal. Not that that matters, because you entirely missed my point. No one needs to be innocent in order to be deserving of help. I don’t believe in prayer, but when I did I always prayed for people who I thought needed it the most not people who I thought deserved it. This whole idea that someone needs to be deserving of prayer before god will help them goes against everything that most religion teaches. No one is worthy.
