Pray to end world hunger you selfish bastard!

Harvard Medical Study: Prayer didn't help sick
I was going to post the same thing

Of course they will now say this was not real and God didn't want to answer those prayers because this would reveal his existence, bla-bla...

Well, you decide whether you believe reason or fairy tales...

BTW I remember in the study they found that people who were prayed for were iin a even worse condition than the control group after the end of the experiment. This means that either prayer really really doesn't work or God is one bad muthafucka who punishes innocent people for nothing (none of the subjects in the experiment knew he was prayed for)

Your right I prayed for you to be gone today and he didn't answer my prayers. God should just answer anyones prayers, wow what a world that would be.

Since when does the good Christian wish his neighbor bad?

the problem is that it doesn't work:ermm:
U have to evaluate how big your goals or dreams are and if they are within your reach.

If you pray to be a teacher at the age of 8 obviously it's not going to happen.

But the minute you throw doubt into whatever it is you're doing, you're already telling yourself it won't or can't happen and it will cease to happen because you already put that thought in your mind.

Praying for an individual is different because they have to be accepting to receive help. If they're are not then those prayers go unheard. As far as praying for world peace or something universal it can't happen because not everyone is on the same page or thinks alike.

test your hypothesis, publish the results and come back to argue

What is the use of Gods devine plan if you can pray and ask anything you want?
I don't know but this seems a bit contradictive to me...

the question is whether prayer works or not...

this is sufficiently precise hypothesis to be tested, it was tested and the answer is no...

The ansewer is we are one with God. But once we all learn to be on the same wavelenght then we can have peace.

But dumb asses like Hersesey think they are a prophet.. and get big headed. But he wants to be a slave, so good for him.
