Stevie, God doesn't encourage violence, no matter what the motive; otherwise, the Holy War would justified if that was the case. I do agree that prayer is not enough, but there is no harm in it. God said, "Ask and you shall receive," and if you have faith in Him, you won't have fear of asking something of Him that you need. Wants are where you draw the line in terms of prayer. Just thought I'd clarify those few things before you go on criticizing that event.
