Acting Governor Dan Patrick (gross) and Senator Ted Cruz (gag me) are begging people to pray for the people lost in the hill country flooding. Let me be frank: Prayer does nothing. Commenting “Prayers” on a tragic Facebook post is laughable. Those people aren’t even actually praying. They’re just typing a word – a worthless word. Prayer is a way of absolving yourself from taking actual action. If you feel like you can help, then help. In real life.
