Breh.....stop it.
I haven't prayed or gone to church on my own in years. I'm not really religious at all. But I'm not about to shyt on people who turn to prayer in a time like this.
For some people, prayer/religion is pretty much all they have; to deal with certain periods in their life, or even deal with their life, period. People out there who are poor, starving, or suffering in some way; all they have to keep their spirits up enough to face another dreadful day, is religion, prayer and hope. A belief that things are going to get better, if not in this life, then in the next one.
It's a lot easier to be a sarcastic about shyt like that when you live in a first world country, you have a job, don't have to worry about where your next meal is coming from and haven't personally experienced any really difficult times, like having a family member brutally murdered. Let these people find comfort and understanding the way they choose. Let then converse with the man upstairs, in an effort to ease their suffering and to come to terms with their situation. Let them believe in heaven, so they can feel that their loved one still exists in some form, and that they can meet them again someday. If they want to believe that 'everything happens for a reason' or 'God works in mysterious ways', then let them. It's a hell of a lot better than saying "My child is gone, and the man who killed him is dead. I'll never see my child again because heaven doesn't exist, and the killer won't suffer because he murked himself and hell don't exist either....oh well, life goes on
