Prayer doesn't work, largest study ever finds

Prayer doesn't work? Really? Next they'll be saying the sky is blue and the grass is green. Honestly, this is one of the biggest wastes of money put into a study. Ever. Though it should and ought to take the wind out of the Religious Right's sails. They've been getting a little too high and mighty lately. This moral superiority of theirs... Tsk... Something was needed. I guess this study was it.

After all, what has prayer proven anyway? Even if you do pray and it comes to pass, the chances of it being as a result of divine intervention are slim to nil because God just doesn't give a flyin' hoot no more. His inbox is just too full and he can't take all the petty praying. Of course, this is on the condition that God does exist and he isn't a figment of human imagination design to justify age old superstitions and force people into submission through the fear of etermal damnation.

I have always believed in NOT praying for me. Of course, fundie Chrisitian think that everyone wants to be in their goddamn prayers. I had to forecefully request not to be. It's sad, really. I can't stand it, and yet, they think that people want it. Of course, if their prayers aren't working and I'm still a sinnin', Godless liberal hippie, you'd think they'd get the message that God ain't doin' jack about it.

After all, God did give humans freewill, did he not? So, it means that prayers can't change another, lest he taketh freewill. The Lord taketh and the Lord giveth. Of course, this refers to everything but freewill.

Further, if prayer worked, all homosexuals would be straight and all sinners would be smoted. But, that isn't happening and it has yet to happen.
