Let us pray to save humanity?

That's absolutely correct. Humanity will have to save itself just as I saved myself from being abused shortly after I turned 18. After years of praying to the Christian God, asking him to save me, I finally found the courage to save myself. As far as I'm concerned, praying to God was completely useless and a waste of my time. In fact, I wasted the majority of my life believing in God, and I foolishly believed that he would eventually help me. It took me a long time to let go of that false hope, but now that I have, I'm much better off without it. It was the best decision I've ever made for myself and my mental health.
I have known of circunstances similar to yours, and I'm certainly sorry about your experience. It is possible, however, that how you looked at it about God is not how HE saw it. Who knows, unfortunately, that there could have been worse experiences if you tried to get out of it before you were 18. I am so sorry about your experiences, and yes, i believe in God, and also believe that these things will stop for everyone in the future. But not now, and it's sad that anyone goes through any type of abuse.

No. Electrons are for school boys. It is energy only with forces and gravity. It seems like these exist, particle / wave duality..
Not arguing, just trying to understand. Here is a definition of electron: "a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids."
Is it a particle or is it not? Is this definition correct?
Thanks for mentioning this, btw, it sounds almost like the theory of evolution, as electrons are defined in books. The theory of evolution sounds far worse in 'scientific theory' than how electrons are figured. :)

OK, I did a little research and found out some interesting stuff. Thanks.

As I said, the theory of evolution sounds far worse (less believable) as far as any substantiation goes, than what you related about electrons. Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

DEBATE IS WELCOMED ON THE THEME "CAN WE PRAY FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD, IT INCLUDES PEOPLE IN RUSSIA AND THEIR PUTIN?"

We all want the best for our world. The way to do it is to pray for the world.


"praying" for things to change in the world, is the best way of upholding the status quo. Which is to say: make sure that nothing changes.

What's the saying like again?

"A single pair of hands working, accomplishes more then a thousand clasped in prayer"

Money cannot solve every issue. The US spends a 5 billion per day to win the war (WW3), but nothing has happened.

First of all, there is no ww3

Secondly, Russia is getting her behind handed to her in Ukraine as a direct result from western help.
And "getting her behind handed to her" is a bit relative off course because even though its army turns out to be hilariously amateuristic, ill-equipped, ill-organized, outdated and lead moronically with low morale... They still heavily outnumber and outgun Ukrainian forces.

But simply because Ukraine managed to drag it out this long and has also managed to have it entre this stalemate standoff... Russia in reality has already lost. Economically, socially, ... It will come out of this conflict incredibly weakened, humiliated, shunned, isolated, hated. No matter which kind of military "success" they still manage to accomplish on the ground from here on. Even if they succeed in destroying Ukraine completely and annexing the entire country. They will STILL come out of this incredibly weakened, humiliated, shunned, isolated and hated.

If all the western world would have done for Ukraine is "pray", then today there would be no Ukraine and a semi-genocide would have taken place. There wouldn't be 3 million refugees. There would be 3 million deaths instead.
