HAVE ANY OF YOU READ A RECENT MEDICAL STUDY?
Christians recuperating from serious seizure or damage reanimate some-more solemnly if told all a parishioners in their church have been praying for them than those who have been told nothing. Why? RScott

I think this is the study to which you are referring.http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/31/health…
Perhaps those who know they are being prayed for do not feel the need to take as much personal responsibility for their own healing such as following the doctor’s post operative instructions.
Neptune, do you happen to have a link to that study?
When lots of people send “energy”, be it prayer, healing or whatnot, there are many flavors to what is sent. And differences add up. Think of a soup. Every member of the church adds an ingredient. There is no cook to measure or mix the ingredients. How does that taste?
Now you feed that mixed up soup to someone who is sick. What do you think? Maybe they just don’t know how to deal with all of the ingredients?
Your question is just nonsense! Let’s see some statistics! Where is your evidence? You are actually wrong! It has been proven BY OBSERVATION, not just by hearsay, that people who are being prayed for actually recover QUICKER!
Quit spreading your evil lies! When people tear down straw men, they are promoting wickedness, and they are making a fool of themselves!
I have no idea why. Perhaps they feel if that they don’t have to do much because “God” is doing it for them? Perhaps they don’t care if they die because they “know” they’re going to Heaven?
It’s very interesting..
I expect that result is not statistically significant.
I expect it makes little or no difference. People do recover better if they are optimistic and have “reason to live”.
Perhaps if the doctor indicated that the congregation is praying for the patient’s RECOVERY the results would be different
I agree with Moth Father, they probably think that God is doing everything for them so that they can get better, and thus do nothing themselves.
Sorry but I read a study claiming exactly the opposite by a non-biased panel of doctors.
Study name how was it achieved in what setting by who,Double blind need more info! There have been other studies that show healing…Why?
Not enough hero music in the world imho
I think you have it reversed?
