It has shown no measurable results - other than the same blood-pressure lowering effect that all forms of meditation show. People attribute normal occurrences to prayer because they refuse to believe that they're just thinking at the ceiling - there is nobody listening.
Prayer can't be tested because no one can say how God will answer prayer, I have a question for you, how do you know there's no one listening, a little proof to go along with your affirmative statement would be nice? You all spout that there is no God all the time but in truth you do not know, you can't be sure, however I am sure the God of the Bible is real, you're living a chancy life.

Meh. In my view, chancier would be living life according to dogma put down by uninformed, ignorant men thousands of years ago, and cherry-picked by uninformed, barbaric, and controlling men hundreds of years after that.
If the god of creation chooses to damn most of the atheists on this board, it's his loss. For the most part, we are a decent, empathetic, charitable, hard-working group of people. If we're not whom he wants in his kingdom, I'll pass on being included.
