Send prayors for those who lost their lives

[Crossroads]

It's funny seeing people talk about how praying is a waste of time, and yet they come to this thread and then preach about how praying isn't going to help, isn't that a waste of time? You're not going to change his opinion on praying, he's still going to do it. If you don't want to pray, that's fine. Obviously, food and money donations are going to help, but if he wants to show some compassion for the people that lost their lives, that's his choice.

This website is also about voicing one's opinion, and how we feel on certain topics. It isn't uncommon to disagree with someone here.

Lol, not really were trying to push people to actually physically help by saying praying's useless U_U You're just that guy who comes in the thread looking for some Rep by saying ignorant stuff U_U

So if we're not praying for someone, we don't have any compassion towards that person/group of people. OP is dropping bombs of logic.

OP is for the crew.

Of course this immediately turned into a religious debate. Not surprising, but still disappointing.

Ok, I guess people are too stuck up their own ass to care about other people, so the mods can close this thread. This thread was suppose to be for awareness and keeping those people in your thoughts, but, because of the immaturity....this thread needs to close. NOthing more needs to be said, when there are such heartless people here

If you want to pray bro go ahead but I honestly don't think it'll make a difference. If your god is all knowing and he cares then you wouldn't need to pray he'll know what to do. That's IF he does anything. I mean come on little kids are starving to death daily in Africa maybe your god doesn't have the power to intervene with the things going on, on Earth or maybe he doesn't want to.

Im sorry to disappoint you

Lmao religion? I Wouldn't be caught dead discussing such garbage, i was merely suggesting ways people could improve the use of their already limited time U_U

So let me get this straight, you're here to persuade someone to stop praying, because you see it as "useless". I'm sure that most people that pray will also send money and food, the praying is an act of compassion and could be seen as thankfulness that they are grateful to be in the position they're in, a reflection of ones self. If you think it's "useless", then that's fine, but if other people want to pray, why stop them. It doesn't take long to pray, couple of seconds at most, I don't see the problem.

 

[BusinessManTeno]

Not gunna send a prayer when I dont believe in god. Maybe you should encourage people to send money and food, you know, stuff they actually need >_>

What's a prayer going to do?

They're gone from existence...they can't hear us

Saying a prayer is a selfish way to make yourself feel better, nothing more nothing less

Would it kill me? No,

But as i said its a rather selfish action, one that i do not want to participate in.

You're selfish. You want us to pray and do stuff that wont help just to make YOU feel better, instead of sending food and money that they NEED. Wouldnt Money and Food be what we would be praying for in the first place?

My wish is not going to improve anything, its merely a waste of my time. All its doing is exerting more carbon Dioxide in the air honestly, So in the long-run it does more bad then good... it does nothing, But if you have some guilty conscience that praying helps heal then by all means continue doing such a futile act U_U However you may want to think twice about who you call selfish.

Cuz Im getting that PS4 for someone

Im an awful person I know

Zex~ dropping logical bombs of harsh truth.

OT: Praying is trivial, you might as well be telling a wall to fix their problems.

No, dumbass. I'm not going to waste my time with such a fruitless endeavour. What of those people who pray endlessly for children to stop dying in Africa? Does God indulge such wishes? Does he ****. **** prayer.​

​

God is false U_U


The only thing you can have faith in.....is money.

Thats awesome e___e

Nah, the point is to try to make people pray. If you truly cared for them, you'd try to do more than just pray, you'd try to actually help.

A little blunt, but you have the right idea.

You negged with such little rep. I could take both your rep bars boy :|

He's asking others to pray with him. Im not going to. Seems like we're at a stalemate e____e

Thousands of people die everyday, please tell me while I have a valid reason to give a **** this time

Oh, yes. Pray for them. That will fix their homes and bring them food.

Your consoling your own mind, its basically a get out of caring free card....You just say some words and suddenly your a great person.

What good is a mind going to do to people in need?

Nothing its useless theres not point in it. If you want to show compassion to another human being actually try helping them otherwise you don't truly care for them at all

What exactly do you mean? Praying isn't going to do anything. All praying does is fill the user's mind with a claim of fallacy feeling like they actually contributed towards helping others. If people wanted to actually show compassion, they'd send a few extra dollars that they could spare. They could spread the word about what happened, and maybe get other's to send money or food or anything that will actually be beneficial to the people who have gone through misfortune. Praying is only beneficial to the user's conscious, nothing more.

If something positive happens to the people in the Philippines, it's because people actually took action, not your trivial praying.

Well said. /thread.

But you neg repped him. That kinda contradicts, don't you think?

you know you're right. so you know what, I just prayed. Now lets see what happens
.___.
.-.
>__>
<___<
any time now...

Didnt God kill them though? Doesnt God control whether people die or not? Been a while since I been to church, but I believe that is the belief. God knows what he's doing right?

The **** is a durn?

You obviously do if you negged me. If I really care Id be a ***** and neg you back. But there's no point Lol

Who says I'm too "stuck up my ass" to show compassion for others? Did you actually read my post? I can help the people in the Philippines just by telling other's about it. Word travels fast, it'll get around and maybe something beneficiary will happen to them. Wishing something will happen is childish to say the least. You're the primary example of a ignorant religious buffoon who's been told what to do and what to believe all of his life without thinking for yourself.

Be logical.

tf, didnt you already post this?

So you dont believe in god yet you pray for your own security. Gotcha.

Will be reporting EVERY and Single one of you guys.
Honestly Nobody gives a care in the world if you believe in God or not. Really we dont.
This thread was meant to send out prayers or Condolences. Every single one of you guys who posted "What is prayer" going to do was being a smart ass, knowing A GOD fearing man will say prayer while other says my condolences. Its truly pathetic the amount of spam im seeing. If you dont believe in prayer or even give your sympathy to the Philippians. then GTFO. Plain and simple. Just trying to post your post count.

And Yes CP. Your in that mix too. Be mature enough to stop spamming a fckn serious thread.

Pathetic Nbsers I swear.

This. Very true. They talk about a waste of time.. Yet they post on a thread, wasting our time. the time they spend talking crap they can send a dollar and get off their lazy ass. smh

My condolences and prayers goes out to em man.

 

[yes iam Sakura chan]

Come on op you can't force someome to pray. And whats the point of praying if you pray just for the sake and not with your full heart

@Bold, that's more than likely not true, and there's no way that people can prove or disprove such a statement. Everything else in your post has partial truth to it.

Not necessarily a religious debate. More like a lesson for some members to expand their thought/consciousness.

it feels like everyone on base is an atheist..
i do know that if God didn't answer prayers nobody would pray
so i believe prayer works for many people, and for some others it doesn't, theres probably a way to get God to answer.
so my point is if you don't believe in God then leave it at that, don't pray to someone you don't believe in, but if you do then pray. i believe it will help. i seen some christians pray and i've seen impossible things happen for them, and i've seen many other christians pray and nothing happens, so i've learnt by experience not to judge christians who pray or any other faith, infact i encourage it.

food and money helps, but the images of the the incident will keep reflecting in their minds, till they die, the loved ones they've lost, how can food and money heal them? infact some of them would rather die seeing as they've lost everything, i believe thats where prayer counts, praying for them to get back on their feet and face tomorrow..

prayer isn't selfless at all. if you feel guilt, and you pray because theres nothing you can do, then theres nothing wrong, your intent counts a whole lot it only shows you are concerned, rather than sitting arguing kakashi vs obito all day long.
and i love people who pray and work together, not just pray and wait for God, Allah, Buddha or shinto to do the work for you, but work and pray... i love those kind of people, they are almost perfect.

I didnt say any words .. I didnt pray , I just stood still a moment and thought how awfull those people have it right now..
I don't understand whats so wrong about that
A great person ? U think people who pray suddenly find themselves a great person? where did u get these ideas from?
I know it will make not even a tiny difference but how I understand it is not the meaning of this thread.
Its just to let people know what happened there .
I just feel sorry for those people , that's all ..

 

[Sir Blades]

Dude don't waste your time, some morons are gonna make this a religion thread and give smart ass responses. Without actually answering your question. That's the base for ya.

 

[HiddenSound]

Yeah.... Incredibly disappointed with blunt insults of the man's faith. I'm not Christian, or anything at all, but why can't we just show an ounce of respect for this guy's beliefs? He doesn't seem like a bad person.

He can pray all he wants but telling other people to pray and say that its helping them when it actually isnt.

But these people have flawed logic. They wont do anything cuz they dont need to. Because once they pray God will answer and everything will be fixed right? People will send money and food, new homes will be built, everything will go back to normal sometime soon. But was that God? Or did someone send that money and that food? Was it God or the Red Cross that rebuild those homes? In their eyes God has answer their prayers, he has proved his power. But he hasn't really. That was something done by humans.

 

[Zexion~]

So your going to sit here and tell me, if your city was struck by a typhoon ...your house was destroyed family killed....Is someone having you on their mind going to make you feel at all better?

If you reply yes your a ****ing lier..Plain and simple it doesn't its shameful so many people believe it shows compassion.

And last i checked i'm going to be on this forum anyways so posting here isn't really wasting any time either

 

[Disquiet]

This thread. :|


Anyways, 10,000 people. Wow. U_U

 

[Tingun]

He didn't have to beg them to pray, I doubt any of this would have started if he didn't. He could have simply said keep them in your prayers and if not keep them on your thoughts.
