Postulating that collective prayer would be more effective is much like insisting that adding enough zeroes will eventually produce a sum.

It's similar to the suggestion box at work, you think your getting your ideas heard, but it is just a formality to the employees. At the end of the month they open it and have a good laugh at what the employees want. So, no, group prayer is not effective at at all. Your just wasting paper for others to laugh at you,

Is collective wishful thinking more effective.... because they are identical.

Lol... How so? Because if I see someone in need of help, my instinct is to help them, rather than make them suck my c*ck first, to make sure they REALLY want/deserve the help? Yeah, well - we can't all be christian... Tongue

Are two elephants trying to fit through a mouse hole more effective than one?
