Re: Fasting and praying for salvation from Ebola?
My personal motto (taken from an old UU campaign): When in prayer, act. When in doubt, pray.
...but there's a caveat to that....
If you are standing on one side of a river and need to get to the other, a raft won't make itself from the tree while you pray.
The problem is (in Africa, as it is in the US...though much, much worse in Africa), a lack of education, particularly science education (which should properly include an understanding of how the human body actually works).
