Time for a new deity?

Isn't it funny how many people fall back on the "thoughts and prayers" mantra after a tragedy. You'd think they would have learned by now that it's a meaningless gesture. Unless they are praying for more senseless violence, the prayers are definitely not working. Or, perhaps their God isn't listening, could care less, is evil, or isn't there. Perhaps it's time to switch gods. I understand Zeus and Apollo are soliciting new worshippers and they have a better track record.
