This Study Provides Evidence That Praying To God Doesn't Solve A Problem. by Workch: 8:11am On Oct 09, 2021 |
Harvard professor Herbert Benson performed a "Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer (STEP)" in 2006. The STEP, commonly called the "Templeton Foundation prayer study" or "Great Prayer Experiment", used 1,802 coronary artery bypass surgery patients at six hospitals. Using double-blind protocols, patients were randomized into three groups, individual prayer receptiveness was not measured. The members of the experimental and control Groups 1 and 2 were informed they might or might not receive prayers, and only Group 1 received prayers. Group 3, which served as a test for possible psychosomatic effects, was informed they would receive prayers and subsequently did. Unlike some other studies, STEP attempted to standardize the prayer method. Only first names and last initial for patients were provided and no photographs were supplied. The congregations of three Christian churches who prayed for the patients "were allowed to pray in their own manner, but they were instructed to include the following phrase in their prayers: "for a successful surgery with a quick, healthy recovery and no complications". Some participants complained that this mechanical way they were told to pray as part of the experiment was unusual for them. Complications of surgery occurred in 52 percent of those who received prayer (Group 1), 51 percent of those who did not receive it (Group 2), and 59 percent of patients who knew they would receive prayers (Group 3). There were no statistically significant differences in major complications or thirty-day mortality. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficacy_of_prayer#The_STEP_project 2 Likes |

Oga you dey waste your time. For example, money ritual doesn't work, yet a lot of Nigerians believe it does. Nigerians have developed this disease I would like to call, "immunity to evidence". |

Prayers are petitions made to unseen beings so whoever wants a result must beleive (trust) in the spirit by adhering STRICTLY to the orders given by the spirit before expecting to see a result! In the Bible God only listens to the prayers of those who are faithful and obedient to Him, as for faithless people their prayers goes into the trash! ![]() |

If you hustle smartly with no muscle,then prayer is no needed. But if you dey hustle with muscle, e.g those who dig soak away, if you like pray from today till eternity, there is no guarantee that such prayer would be answered |

Workch: Yet you continuously bother yourself with Him up to the level of Fulfilling His Words by Insulting and blasphemimg Him as Prophecied. No one bothers themselves about things that do not exist. But hatred and Cursing is always directed towards Things in existence. And this is because He has Marked you out for Guaranteed death, NO REPENTANCE FOR YOU, so you are just here to take other stupid people like you who never Listened. |

Prayer is an act of unbelief not belief. Prayer is you telling your god he has things mixed up and only you can tell him how to fix it. It's an insult on your gods intelligence. 2 Likes

CamusMidas:In most cases, the decline of religion comes with advancement in science and technology. It gives way for critical reasoning that leads to infrastructural and social development. Religion kills critical thinking, it’s very evident in Nigeria. |
