Don't Pray for me Argentina

(2)

Modern Science has recently put Religion under the microscope in the form of a study of the efficacy of prayer. The results of the experiment seemed to indicate that prayer can be counter-productive if the subject knows that sHe is being 'prayed for.' Otherwise prayer seems to have no effect one way or the other.

This result is interpreted in terms of stress: the 'prayee,' knowing that sHe is being prayed for by 600 people actually suffers from performance anxiety which leads to complications - or possibly sHe suffers from a form of hopelessness knowing that sHe needs (stomp above me) so much prayer. Interpretations of the result are, of course, problematic, but one thing seems to be clear: You do not want to know that a lot of people are praying for you...
