Thank God For That

A study shows that prayers do not aid in the healing of the sick. Now, that is truly a revelation! If prayers could heal the sick, the Middle Ages in Europe would have been the healthiest in human history. Prayers were about all that they had back then for medicine. And they did pray a lot too; particularly when the plague hit. They really tried, not just praying but hiding in churches. They did kill all the “witches”, many of whom might just have the knowledge to heal many of the deceases against which they all prayed so very hard. Since we do not pray nearly as hard anymore, it is certainly a relief to know prayers lack physical healing power. And god looks better for it too, as least he is not running a protection racket: pray to me or die! Thank you.
