Thinking 'good' thoughts will never accomplish as much as actually DOING something good.

Trey, I know this won't work for you, but how about we do both?

Your actions speak louder than your prayers.

Prayer is worse than useless. If you believe your prayers have power, you falsely believe that you have helped. By doing nothing, you absolve yourself of any guilt of doing nothing. If prayer worked, it would be in its self a good deed, but it doesn't and it isn't.

As an ICU and ER nurse, I see families surrounding their loved one praying, laying on hands, wailing and crying. When I come along and ask them to move it to the waiting room and allow the ill/injured relative to get some vital rest, I am some kind of demon and get reported to administration. Worse yet when they won't stop a prayer circle and allow me to get to the bedside to perform some lifesaving intervention like adjusting an IV drip, CPR, suction or medicate, I have committed some religious offense. Lastly, the team has worked furiously for days on a critical patient with a slim chance of survival, but everyone performs heroically, and they begin to recover...The family says what? Thank you Jesus. Well, fuck you!

But what is the definition of a good deed. There are so many different ideas as to what a is a good deed and what is not. I guess what I'm trying to say is let the religious people pray, that gives them a little less time to act on their crazy religion based ideas.
