People's True Needs

I read articles like this one and it breaks my heart. When a disaster strikes the needs of people are not just material, they are also spiritual. When people are down they need to know that there is a loving G_d that cares for them personally and individually. People who use a disaster to promote their political agenda are plain wrong. If you want to urge people who think like you do to provide help then do so, just don’t bring politics into the game during the disaster. The president and other government officials know that the majority of people are religious to some extent, so simple admonitions from them that we should pray for the victims are normal and expected. This is not promoting one religion over another, just people being human in the face of disaster.
