As an Atheist, I can't Pray For Her. But My Heart Goes Out To Ms. Hudson And What She Must Be Feelin

[Wiley50]

I seem to have put my entire sentiment in the subject line

Anyone else want to add anything?

1. Its a sad situation.

But there are lots of other people going through this same thing everyday who happen to not be famous. Sad situations all around.

3. What a heartlessly dismissive piece of nastiness.

And how controlling to attempt to discourage others from voicing sympathy as well.

I'm happy to say that in my neighborhood there are NOT lots of people whose mother brother and 7 year old nephew were slaughtered.

5. True. I haven't a clue who she is, don't know what she looks like or any roles she's played

I don't own a tv.

So in my case it's as if she's just another human on this planet

But to lose your mother, brother and nephew this way............................

[HEyHEY]

9. There's that many double murders and kidnappings in the US every day?

Shit, I'm never visiting again.

2. Very tragic. My thoughts are with the family. n/t

[dennysp]

4. I feel for her, too, and I'll pray for her.

[undeterred]

6. My heart and my prayers go out to Jennifer and her sister

and everyone else feeling the effects of this tragedy.

7. Who the fuck asked you to pray for her/them?

Why is it necessary to boldly declare your religious beliefs? Just have some compassion.

[Wiley50]

12. You obviously have a lot of courage

Peace Nikki

8. Yes - it is incredibly sad

the power that an armed angry person has is frightening. Such a senseless crime against innocent people.

10. There's no law saying atheists CAN'T pray. If there's no God, it doesn't matter anyway,

and if there is, it couldn't hurt.

This, from kestrel, the agnostic/neopagan/ecofeminist with Anabaptist leanings. It's ok. I never pray. Too lazy and unmotivated, lol.

11. Just read that she was the one who ID'd her mother & brother.

I can't even imagine.
