    If it makes you feel better, by all means pray. But, not at the expense of actually donating to those charities seeking to aid the survivors.

    Fúck "Prayer", GO DO SOMETHING TO HELP!

    Communing telepathically with your imaginary friend accomplishes NOTHING while donating to the Red Cross or Doctors Without Borders or finding out what food, clothes, medication, emergency equipment etc. are being shipped over there and working to help provide it will actually help!

    Save your meaningless gestures for people not in danger of dying of dysentery becuse they don't have fresh water.

    May the corrupt local politicians not steal more than 80 % of the donated aid money. Amen.

    Go to PayPal and pay a participating charity

    All the wishful thinking in the world won't help anyone there.

    no problem .. what bothers me is the western publicized 'aid circus' and everybody tripping over themselves to get a piece of the windfall pie .. you can bet the common people wont see a single dime of it .. they live humbly anyway and for the most part are used to typhoons on a yearly basis ...

    If you really want to help, donate to the relief organizations, don't pray.

  • why not pray these disasters don't happen - oh that's right, since there is no god then praying does nothing, apart from maybe making you feel good

    It’s too late to pray for them. We should pray for those families left behind.
