Terri Schiavo was prayed for by millions, in hope that she would live and she died.

John Paul II is being prayed for by millions with the hope that he'll live, but he'll die.

Bottom line: If you're sick, don't as people to pray for you. Theoretically, if the Christian religion is real, then praying might not always reach God. You may intend to speak to God, but in fact you could be in direct communication with Satan, if you're not doing it right. Don't give me that protestant nonsense, "The baby Jesus will communicate your prayer to God nomatter what!" BS. In Christian history, Satan has proven himself to be just as powerful as God in earthly matters.
Never mind that studies have shown praying can actually help sick patients.

yea, i could see that.. Anything bringing up the mental usige and getting "hope" would inspire the body to heal...

But the thing that im thinking is that simply, i dont think something that might change some little complecations would come close to helping the pope... his list of complecations are on go'ing.

You can only bet 451 but I'll bet your whole postcount that he dies by tonight midnight. If you win I'll double your postcount, if you lose I get all your posts. Of course this is only if some kind mod actualy decides to do it for us.

Actually, the study I read about was "blind." The patients had no idea than anyone was praying for them. I don't believe in that sort of thing, but the study kinda creeped me out.

Yea I remember reading about that too. It made me look at praying in a whole different way, tbh.

I'm not religious and I don't pray, but in the past I have prayed for other people, either if they or their family asked me to, or if I felt such a strong desire for someone else that it overpowered my cynicism about religion enough to make it seem silly.

After reading about that study, I honestly felt a little vindicated.

I haven't read much of that yet, the sample size should be larger imo. Regardless the results are interesting.

There was another (small) study that showed the dilution process of homeopathy actually works as if the medicine were there. This was dilution to the point where there may be nothing remaining except water.

He will die today or tomorrow. He what like 135 years old? Any time someone that old even sneezes they get sick and almost die. My guess... tonight around 9pm est.

God is beckoning to his dieing child...with a urinary infection and a high fever, shakes, slured speech, and general decrepit disposition.

Are you sure? 50 took 9, JP2 only took 1 or 2 I think.

That's what I'm thinking.
Also, check this out:

Wikipedia wrote:According to a New York Post article of February 19, 2002, John Paul II personally performed three exorcisms during his tenure as pope. The first exorcism was performed on a woman in 1982 who writhed on the ground. His second was in September 2000 when he performed the rite on a nineteen-year-old woman who had become enraged in St. Peter's Square. A year later, in September 2001, he performed an exorcism on a twenty-year-old woman.

WTF? Cool party gimmick though, exorcisms.
