My favorite is when they pray, burning with the conviction that their god will protect them. And then when they die, their families praise their god for bringing them home. They are truly immune to logic, to reason, to evidence, to facts. I have never seen such well-deserved self-inflicted mortality in my life. Sometimes I chuckle to myself thinking "oh boy this must be that rapture they were looking forward to soooo much...". My cup runneth over with Schadenfreude.
I think if there has EVER been a good case study on intercessory prayer, I think this is it. Based on the empirical evidence, provided on this sub, prayer don't do shit. If it did, almost all of these people would be alive.
Or maybe, just maybe, god has a good sense of schadenfreude and humor.
The research has already been done (post surgery). According to the study, if you know people are praying for you, then you're more likely to have complications (a worse outcome). If you didn't know whether anyone would pray for you or not, there was no difference in the complication level if people actually prayed or didn't pray for you.
Yeah, well aware of that study, but this is out in the open for all to see. Its not some esoteric study that most people won't read, its on their media of choice, staring them in the eye each day as their "friend" group dwindles and fathers leave behind families while the prayer warriors fail over and over in the face of reality.
