WOTMQ: Thoughts and Prayers
I'm so sick of hearing people offer "thoughts and prayers." Aside from the phrase being an official call to inaction, it's actually oxymoronic. I'll explain (but you have to watch the video — I'm not gonna give all away here)...
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you all as if you're my own children. I really do. But no, you can't borrow the car.

I always encourage people "not to pray, but to do something". Donate money, blood, time, etc. Do something that will improve the world around you for everyone!
Ah.... Abraham Lincoln. Pretty good. That one is a stretch. :)
Is that the Lincoln logo on "tribal god of Abraham?" I'm missing the reference...
This is my favorite thing to do — put little things in the video that people have to catch and figure out. Good catch!!! This one’s a bit of a stretch. But I must have my fun! God of Abraham and a Lincoln. Abraham and Lincoln. Got it?
Would have given two likes if you'd let me borrow the car.
I've always appreciated A.C. Grayling's musings on this kind of thinking… er… NOT thinking. http://www.skeptical-science.com/religion/god-disaster/
