One can only speculate, or want to believe there is a spiritual world, but we know there is a material world full of cause and effect situations. So, instead of praying for the officers who were shot, why not take action and organize a picket or mass email campaign demanding a safer work environment for police officers in the City Of Detroit [[bullet proof glass at precint stations)

If you know someone who suffers from a terrible disease, wouldnt it be more productive to organize a fundraising drive for research,or to become an organ donor?

Seems like a waste of time to pray for others. Other than comfort, and self gratification whats the point?
