    Funny thing is though, that a study on how prayer works for sick people showed they actually got worse!

    Uuh, is it because they refuse other types of treatment? That is a pretty important distinction. I don’t believe for a second that just praying magically makes you more sick.

      Nope exact same treatment, apparently the psychological effect of knowing that people are praying for you makes it worse, all else being equal.
