Maybe I'm working too hard. Or maybe, like my most recent email from a Christian, my heart is hardened to the good things in the world. I don't know what it is that makes me so cynical, perhaps its the endless parade of wasted prayers for people who have committed horrendous crimes. Like the pastor who offered a prayer of peace for woman who allegedly murdered her innocent two year old daughter.
"I miss that kiss on the cheek, that special hug. But to get a hug from a small child, that gives me energy like you couldn't imagine," said George Anthony, Caylee's grandfather.
Caylee was 2 when she disappeared last summer. Her remains were found in December. Her mother, Casey Anthony, has been charged with killing her and is in jail just a mile away from today's service.
Why does Casey Anthony deserve prayers? This feel good religious bullshit will not bring back a dead child. I’ll never understand, nor will I believe, not when a murder is treated like a saint. My gut reaction to this story was to retch.

That praying for a murderess, or anyone, has no effect isn't the issue.
"being caring "for a mother who murders her child and feels no remorse nor takes responsibility? It's all good to people like you. The problem with you baaing sheep is that you cannot discern the difference between people who are worthy of sympathy, and those who are due only societies disgust , revulsion, and punishment.
Likely that's because Xtian doctrine allows murderers, rapists, genocidal maniacs, et al, to "get their reward in candy land" as long as they telepathically tell some fictional dead Jew that they believe he is god, while innocents like Anne Frank burn in hell.

the theist above said: "... at least they're putting forth the effort to give hope in the way they think is right to do so..."
I was wondering.. give "hope". What does that mean exactly? Give the murderer hope of what? Hope she won't be convicted? Hope she gets life instead of the death penalty? Hope for a mistrial? Hope she goes to heaven? Hope she has another kid, so she can kill again? Hope her cell mate isn't a dyke?
I find it interesting that theists post thier meaningless blather, yet can't find a moment to respond to the challenges of the nonsense that flows from their ganglia to their finger tips. But I can't blame them, so much of what they proffer is indefensible horse hockey.
