Quote:NEW YORK — In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that having people pray for heart bypass surgery patients had no effect on their recovery. In fact, patients who knew they were being prayed for had a slightly higher rate of complications.

Prayer works, just god didn't want to answer these particular prayers, because an enhanced recovery for those prayed for, was not his will at this time...Worship (large)

Or maybe prayer is fucking bullshit. Tough one.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
