I have a month of queue going on, due to travelling and mind-broadening stuff. The truth is out there, and so is a lot of bullshit, but that just fertilises the truth.

Post reblogged from This Paper Life with 3 notes

Rarely do I go on all-out anti-religious rants

thispaperlife:

but this is warranted.

Do no pray for the people in the path of the Hurricane, help them evacuate.

Do not send them prayers and bibles in the aftermath, send aid.

Better yet, go help them.

Let your actions speak of your faith, not your hollow half-hearted prayers.

I get where you people are coming from; I was a Christian in a former life.

I know that you believe that your prayers matter.

But they don’t. Your actions do.

I don’t know why you think it’s one or the other. Statistically, “people who pray” are more likely to donate to aid groups that people who don’t.

  1. hurricanethroughme said: Agree with the mindset of your post completely, but I don’t think it’s a “Don’t pray, act instead” kind of a thing. For Christians, it’s a Pray AND Act. Too many Christians use prayer as an excuse to not do anything, because prayer is a good thing.
