So I'm watching GMA this morning when a story comes on titled "The Power of Prayer". Basically this woman talks about how this man came into a check cashing business to rob it. He pulls a gun. She says she's afraid, starts crying and praying. Interspersed with the prayer she tells the guy that he's better than this and doesn't need to do it -- asks him if he has children also - she has two - sparks a dialog between the two that in the end diffuses the situation.
My issues: 1.) It insinuates anyone else who's been on the wrong side of a gun and prayed about it but still got shot must not have been as close to god as this woman was. 2.) It totally discounts the psychology this woman either knowingly or unknowingly used on this guy. 3.) It assumes this guy was whole heartedly into pulling this off --- though he only had one bullet. What I propose: Let's find a little more hardened criminal, like a Geoffrey Dahmer, and use this woman again and repeat the scenario. Then let's compare results. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/clerk-recounts-alleged-robbers-dramatic-change-heart/story?id=8887628 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
