My parents fled a building and 2 minutes later all five stories collapsed... I am a very thankful person today indeed!

i just got this email from a good friend of mine-- horrible :(
"My friend Rachel Conley was killed yesterday in new Zealand. Jackie and Rachel have been traveling with each other for the last six months. They were in Christ Church in the south island and they had just come out of a tattoo shop---the ground started to shake violently...jackie doesn’t know why but she ran out into the middle of the street and when she looked back she saw the building fall forward and collapse on Rachel. She dug through the rubble and found Rachel’s arm to pull her out but she was already dead. It was supposed to be her last day in new Zealand...I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. I just wept in my bed last night. Can’t remember the last time I cried like that.....pray hard for Jackie---she is in shock---Rachel was her best friend. Not sure if Rachel’s family even knows yet ----it doesn’t seem so from her facebook page. No one has been able to get in touch with them and none of us know them. Jackie will be on the next flight home."

Your prayers will do nothing! They certainly didnt prevent more destruction after the last quake. Maybe your god was looking for like 230,000 prayers but only received 228,587, ooooo bummer, so he sent another quake so he could get more prayers. That is the logic youre dealing with, seriously. Prayers are as effective as naming a place christchurch thinking your gonna get some protection from natural events that have nothing to do with the made-up supernatural world some of you still cling too. PLEASE, ISNT THIS PROOF ENOUGH?!
- I know what you're saying but its kinda of a shit thing to say right nowRamanisky2
- no man, this is exactly when things like this should be discussed. Times like this we need to look towards each other for help and not to the sky. Send money, not prayers or "good vibes" what ever that is.wankerbez
- You a scientist? Are you claiming that an earthquake proves there is no god? lulz.nb
- what a shitty thing to say wankerGeorgesII
- Prayers are a ubiquitous way of saying that people thoughts are with you and that they share empathyKidswift
- Not necessarily always religious in sentiment. And yes a shitty thing to sayKidswift
