I personally am an atheist. But I'm asking for they to be rescued alive.

So why is it that the world is "concerned" about these men? ðŸ˜

... and you don't care.
Quantity is the measure for you, I think...
Anyway, one life is important for me. 50 killed civilians/soldiers seems to be of no importance for americans.
Why don't you start your own thread on this?

I can't pray no god 'cos I don't believe in one. But those who do, those who believe in anything "superior", please do it.
I can't believe this is useful anyway. Che sará, sará.
So, please, do it, ask for them. May be you receive the gracia, and don't turn into another bowmann in your next incarnation (or your present one...)

Sorry Exy. NYT site needs you have a subscription, It's free. And of coirse it;s a serious site.
Anyway, google for the last news on the russian submarine, if you are really interested. Any news site (BBC, NBC, etc.) are covering the subject.

You pray to your Christian God, you pray to your Jewish God etc. Nobody can say for sure which God is the "right" one, but if everyone prays/hopes for them, surely the "right" God will recieve some prayers from the people who have happened to choose that religion, and a miracle will happen.
Well or something. I might have had a bit too much to drink, coupled with excessive dancing... sorry if I'm talking crap.
But I do hope that the sailore can be rescued before time runs out.

I understand that you can't understand. No pun intended.
I have no faith in a god.
But it doesn't hurt if the people that has their beliefs take a moment to pray.
May be that I'm wrong after all. Who knows?
So, anything you can do that in your system of beliefs that may seem useful to alleviate anyone's pain, should be do. I'm not the owner of the reason, so, I'm humble asking to the people to do what they consider it's at their reach and may be useful.
Being realstic, I think that we can not do too much, but we must try whatever at the reach of our hands.

But ah well... nighty night now.
