Quote:Have you ever heard of the self-fufilling prophecy? The placebo effect?
Not to mention confirmation bias.
Along with miracles, I've seen no evidence that prayer 'works' . I suspect this may be possibly due to there being no one listening. Or perhaps whatever is there doesn't give a flying fuck. OR Perhaps it is indeed YHWH and he's just been sulking for a few thousand years, that would be totally in character.
@ Angel; I'm terribly sorry,but your personal anecdotes are not evidence except to you and perhaps a few others who share the same superstitions..
