You didn't answer my question. How is prayer, fasting and "sacrifice" going to help? How did it help the 50 million who died in WWII? Maybe they should have fasted more ...

Mock away.

Jesus fasted.

HE taught that WHEN we fast, as if He expected it to be the typical practice of His followers.

FWIW, fasting works.

HTH do you know? What's your proof?
And I'm not mocking ... century upon century of human suffering (none worse than the 20th) and according to you, all we gotta' do is fast and sacrifice and things will get better.
Well gooooolly, I guess all those millions upon millions who died agonizing deaths never thought of that.
Given all that, the only conclusion I can come to is that if there is a Creator, it created the universe and has been hands off ever since.
