As an athiest myself I really do not care one way or the other. The way I feel about praying for Katrina victims is that as long as you have helped as
much as you can then go ahead and pray if it will give you some comfort or piece of mind. I personally wish for the relief and help of anyone effected
by this horrible event but I'm not on my knees holding my hands with my eyes closed.
If praying will give you some comfort or sense of peace then by all means, please do so. But don't confuse praying with actually doing something.
By all means, in whatever faith you practice and in whatever service you practice your faith in, if you concentrate on the Katrina victim's and say a
prayer I'm all for it. However, I'm kind of annoyed that their making it a priority to get evanglists to the victims. That's all we need is a Pat
Robertson or a Jerry Falwell walking amongst these poor souls telling them that the reason this happened is because of homosexual marriage and our
wicked ways
...A national day of prayer is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave right now.
