The irony is thick and sweet......but I will try to move the que a bit.
New line of thought:
Survey: people in a double-blind trial who were prayed for by others (and didn't even know it) showed a statistically higher rate of recovery than those who were not. So, what does that mean, assuming the data is correct?
Personal observation (i.e. empirical data):
When I have had a particular problem, and knew people were praying for me, I *felt* better. So, was prayer, indeed, a positive component of this response, or was it a self-reenforcing aspect?
OK.....I've done my part.
Discuss.
