In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that having people pray for heart bypass surgery patients had no effect on their recovery. In fact, patients who knew they were being prayed for had a slightly higher rate of complications.
Researchers emphasized that their work can’t address whether God exists or answers prayers made on another’s behalf. The study can only look for an effect from prayers offered as part of the research, they said.
Yeah, I have a book about some weirdo energy crap. It says that if you pray about something, like an operation, you are actually putting worrysome energy out there that focuses on the ailment, thereby making it worse.
It’s probably better energy-wise to think of something like fluffy bunnies.
🙂 yay! bunnies!
