You implied here:damage has already been done, don't know what people are praying for.
but yeah it's a serious tragedy. Was this worse than Columbine?
that it's pointless for people to pray because they've all already been killed. Yes, they're dead. So obviously people won't be praying that they make it out okay, because they're clearly dead, but everyone's pain and suffering from the situation isn't over. The families have to live with it, and maybe people want to pray for the children's souls if that's what they believe in, or to at least pray for the well being of the family members and community.
And like Cake has said this isn't years old or some shit this just happened and a lot of people have to deal with what occurred. Aside from all that though I don't see why anyone should be making judgement on what people may or may not be praying for. I personally don't have any spiritual beliefs or anything, so I won't be praying, but I'm not going to question what other people are doing. If they want to pray for the families or what ever it is, then let them do it. I know you weren't all aggressive and w.e saying something like "why is everyone praying that's stupid they're dead stop," but it's still probably better to not be commented on even.
Idk what stuff you believe in, but a lot of non-religious people, mainly the edgy teen group (not saying you're a part of either) always complain about Christians and whoever else always preaching and w.e and no one wants to hear it. Well, it's the same as telling those people what they should and shouldn't pray for. That's what you believe, keep it to yourself.

First of all, yeah I know it happen yesterday Cake.
And yeah, I'm an Atheist but I don't bash other religions at all, that's just not cool. Some of the nicest people I've ever met are Christians and I wouldn't trade their friendship for anything. But yeah, I didn't think about praying for their souls or whatever, that makes more sense. I was just thinking more "atheistically" in my mind if that makes any sense, not taking their beliefs into mind. Yeah you're right.

I think that most people don't understand that not all politicians are mindless emotionless people. Next to being a politician, Obama is also a father. I think that he is a pretty sincere guy when it comes to stuff like this.

I think its more likely that he was just trying to put on a show to not only boost his support base (like politicians and other famous people do) but also to show that he cares deeply for the value of human life, ( even though his foreign policies have killed hundreds of children and left thousands as orphans. just saying)

I think not only religiously. Psychologically/mentally, it can affect people later. They can have sporadic break downs or have to painfully live on knowing all the things they could have done but didn't/couldn't.
