One must have faith for prayer to work.

It didn't work for those people in the study.

Ted Nidiffer is of course an atheist.

How do you know that? Did he tell you?

Of course, James Drew is an advertising agency for
the sociopathic mafia and walks over skeletons for quackery.

What is happening to the world? Jan sends us to a famous atheist site,
the Internet Infidels, to read something written by medical doctor and
famous debunker Gary Posner.

And it is a debunking article too!!

Thanks, Jan, and keep taking whatever it is that is doing such a good
job. Soon you will be one of "us".

Of course this person was unable to understand this article. The rest of us
appreciate your point that medical science is about a group who constantly
contradict each other and seem unable to organize a cohesive "plan". They
appear tgo do things in a very arbitrary way. They keep "practicing" doing
everything and it appears will never manage to accomplish anyrthing of true
value to the benefit of anyone.

That's far too high a price for unity.

That is religious insanity. Such is part of Jan Drew's advertizing for
quackery.

Whoa, Silver!

According to Carole, the "medical science cartel" has /everything/
so completely organized and planned.

Get back to us when the two of you have worked out your
differences.

Actually, it is about alternative medicine, both pro- and con. More of the

True. You have very ably demonstrated that.

Jan's gonna have a cow, because the most reputable study I know of
deals with JEWS (or should that be "Jew Boys"?) and the power of
religious faith to stave off final demise.

This study reportedly showed that the death rate of observant Jews
tailed off significantly just before high holy days, only to be
replaced by a compensatory rise in death rates immediately after the
high holy days. It seemed as if the observant Jews were hanging onto
dear life so they could experience one last Hannukha or Rosh Hoshana
or other holy day, and once they made it, they went ahead and died
(belatedly).

But I'm sure this will be interpreted by Jan as having nothing to do
with prayer, but something to do with Satan keeping his minions around
a little bit longer when it suits him. Jews = Satan worshippers and
all...

my other hobby (time-waster in a big way is more like it) is lurking around the
Internet, annoying people who engage in the dissemination of bozo-science
medical advice. My favorites are the "NutraSweet causes brain cancer" folks and
those who would have us believe that milk causes diabetes. I could claim it's
my duty as a high-falutin' medical professional, but really it's just my
natural pugnacious tendency."

1. This is not a chatroom.

2. "Dave" <[email hidden]> declares this "chatroom" as a place for
personal communications, but he abuses it for his commercial
advertizing.

This leads to only one possible conclusion :

"Dave" <[email hidden]> is either a psychopath or a criminal MLM
salesdroid, which willfully abuses this newgroup. Or both.
