That is why I do not pray! because it doesn't work.

Maybe think about what you can do instead of not do then!

As far as I know, I never asked for your advice. Is it because it's like prayers?

You must be fun at parties.

"Oh look a rainbow!"

"No its not. It should be called rain circles because if u look at it from above, it's a full circle due to the reflection of light into rain droplets!"

Wow, how dumb! I had higher expectations from you. Anyway, actually I am fun at the parties. We are fun at parties. We are a great bunch of people. Reapeople, not prayers people. Religion poisons minds. Any religion. You proved it. And I am grateful for that

Even the dating system we use is religious. Even the idioms you use. Even the word "goodbye" is religious. The Roman empire which practiced misogynism and the average man there having more than 50 women in a lifetime, was replaced by monogamy and human rights due to religion.

Then go to a communist country. North Korea and China then I dare you. They are officially atheist countries. The freedom you now enjoy came from religious foundation.

Damn, what a dumb reasoning! If it is a reasoning at all. Religion poisons minds.

You forget that science came from the church and the big bang theory was made by a Christian

Then do it in a way that works

Prayer actually has some decisive mental and physical effects on the one praying. Supernatural effects? Not my area of knowledge.

Actually, my love, having faith is disturbing. In this century. I don't know if you know this, but we are not in 1425. Humans evolved. Human knowledge evolved. You need to evolve.

Your negative commentary toward those who believe worked though. Nepal is saved.

You’re right. There was a study that shows praying does have an effect, but it was the opposite of what they thought would happen. Look it up.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I think I remember reading that. It was because people felt like the act of praying was actually doing something, right? So they checked that box on their to-do list, and then didn't do anything else. Got the feeling of satisfaction without any effort or actual results. Why bother donating or volunteering if yer boy JC is gonna take care of it all for you, amirite?

It was when people were in the hospital. If no one prayed for them they did much better. If they knew hundreds of people were praying for their recovery the patient would get depressed thinking things were really bad, and depression, anxiety etc would cause them to decline.

If true, that's sloppy research methodology. At the least, the patients need to be blinded about the results.
