Actions over thoughts and prayers

When I was trying to take thousands of steps for fitness and contests, I would occasionally pass by a place where people were actively engaging in a ritual over a non plausible concept.

When I would look inside, I could imagine a person with multiple automatic rifles easily taking out dozens of people lined up like lambs to a slaughter.

Then I would hope than when someone else comes up with that idea and carries it out that it would finally get those who make laws in the US to ignore the money they get from those who want guns and more guns and do something to prevent more killing. It didn't.

Within 3 days, New Zealand is doing that.

I saw a billboard with the phrase "Pray for new Zealand". It is meaningless. The people of that nation saw a problem and are taking care of it the same way the US acted against fertilizer and airline passengers in the past but won't against guns.

Those in the US who waste their time and energy in prayer should not pray for New Zealand but instead should pray that when not if the next angry white man with assault weapons opens fire on a bunch of citizens that those killed are not their friends, family, or themselves.
