This is a really scummy argument. A religious person saying that they're sending prayers is a sign of showing empathy. No religious person claims that their prayers will make atrocities like this not happen.

The problem is some ppl ARE claiming that's what their prayers are doing. It makes ppl feel as if they're claiming enough prayer THIS week will prevent another shooting next week. Everyone appreciates the empathy, but such claims are what brought on this argument. For example:pic.twitter.com/sfdanJ3m2k

& I'm not trying to argue w/ you. I personally appreciate ur comment bc it makes sense. Prayer isn't for wishing away problems, it's for sending out hope/love/empathy. & to reinforce ur faith w/ God & open up to Him & strengthen urself thru Him. At least from what I've heard.

I understand your point, but i doubt that most religious people believe their prayers actually stops these things from happening. You seem like a very level-headed person

Prayer is talking to oneself. There are no gods. It might make you feel better, but it has no practical use.

well said. it's not that prayers don't work. the self therapy part is understood to bring comfort and tranquility to the doer, but no desired effect on others prayed to. so guns and prayers don't mix. policy and actions do.

Why you gotta do that, man?

Why? Because superstition substitutes rational thinking in policy making to deadly results.

Separation of church and state doesn't seem to be a thing for the GOP.

Don't be fooled, it's not a thing for either party. They'll say whatever works, then switch completely when the other party is in charge.

God gonna sort you out but you're too much for me to resist. The power in my prayer has stopped far more awful events from occurring. You don't know what God has prevented by intervening with chaotic people's free will. I'm praying for you to accept Jesus sacrifice

I'm praying for you understand that not everyone has to believe in a religon.

I'm praying for you to understand that no matter your view on it, it's real and will be shown to you undoubtedly, if you ask God with a humble and open heart. Please seek the truth and not what you've been taught to discredit. I love you. God bless you
