Reply #306: Once again, saving the life should come before saving the soul [View All]

I think it's sad that people think it's okay to just stand back when an injured person is hurting, possibly even dying, and not take any physical steps to help them.

There was a famous case in NYC in the '60's of a young woman who was brutally raped and murdered next to a very populated apartment building. Everyone heard her calling for help, but no one moved to help her or call the police until well after she was dead. I am sure that people prayed for her as she lay, screaming for help in a pool of her own blood. I am equally sure that wouldn't have been much comfort to Miss Genovese.
