[quote=“zK.k31k1.h1X”]Its amazing how one event can seem so different from from a different perspective…
I was at the theater watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with my brother. At about 1:30, 5 minutes into the movie, it all stopped adn the lights went out. Everyone in the theater was pissed and wanted their money back. It was such an annoyance…but none of us knew that something so tragic had happened.
So to us the event was nothing but an itch on our backs, but to the person’s family it was the loss of a major part of their lives.[/quote]

No it hasn’t. In fact, a recent study published in The Lancet medical journal disproved that long-distance prayer did not have a significant effect on patients’ recovery. From medpagestoday.com:
As for soneone praying for themselves or someone who knows that somoeone is praying for them, it’s most likely a placebo effect.

I’m not saying that prayer is a bad thing. If it works for you, go ahead and do it. I’m simply saying that there is no scientific evidence that it helps cure disease.
Well, regardless of that, you’re all still invited to attend my prayer circle. This week we’ll be discussing Christianity: The New Wonder Drug? and we’ll be reviewing the minutes from last week’s Gays on Parade.
This really is pathetic having such a discussion in this forum. If you want to talk prayer and religion start a new topic. The poor guy that died does have family in town and Im sure they would be horrified to see this forum and how much it has strayed off of their tragedy.
