Prayer doesnt work that way, god knew he was being tested so instead allowed those Christians to remain hurt to prove a point to the skeptics that he exists and will not be mocked!

God knew he was being tested, so he reserved the effects of prayer just to get a laugh out of use stupid mortal ants.

Never heard of a coffee enema before. Sounds stimulating...
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised, the Lord doesn’t work that way. So I just stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

It might help some mentally,but wasn't it already a common fact that prayer doesn't do or help anyone physically?

I wonder if I could get a government grant to on a study where I myself and others both near and far clck their heels and wish for me to have a muscular, lean olympian body while I remain in one spot and do nothing but surf the internet and eat taco bell.
I suppose if the government is going to throw away my tax dollars, they may as well do it on a pointless study where I can at least get my hands on that money.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

There you go. If chalupas and/or Baja Blast Mountain Dew can't cure it, then I don't want to hear about it. Tongue
