"Pray for Paris" seems a cruel slogan to direct at a country whose very existence is a mass secular revolt against religious authority

      @DougSaunders are you saying ppl should stop praying, because it will stop future attacks?

      @destiny_113 Not at all. Nobody should stop indulging any private pastime, including religion. This is about hurtful messages

      @DougSaunders showing solidarity through prayers isn't hurtful message; religious extremism is. I think you are confusing the two.

      @destiny_113 Showing solidarity involves embracing those things held dear by others, not tweeting slogans about that which attacked them

      @DougSaunders how do you know victims' families didn't pray when they heard the news? Are you seriously saying that peaceful prayers are

      @destiny_113 This has nothing to do with prayers or other such private pastimes. It's about slogans that serve only those sending them

      @DougSaunders nice to see that at a time of tragedy this is what you focus on. Have a word.

      @Tgronau9 I agree! Tragedy is no time to focus on selfish things. I'm seeing too much of that slogan

      @DougSaunders some people are offering support by praying how is that selfish?

      @Tgronau9 The issue is not their praying -- that's a private pastime -- it's their slogan / command

      @DougSaunders I disagree. I think at times of tragedy; people turn to prayer...for personal support or prays for peace. Both are needed

      @DougSaunders No, it's all about God and if turning to God in prayer is selfish, then I hope more people become pray selfish tonight
