I read a story some years ago that said the statistics from 2009-2010, showed religious church going people suffered the same amount of job loss, unemployment and foreclosure as nonreligious people.
this is the story I tell-
100 people are diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and all 100 pray for a healing.
25 people go into remission and 75 people die.
the 25 who live, tell everyone that god answered their prayers, but the 75 who are dead, can't tell anyone that prayer does not work. The moral is, prayer that doesn't work is under reported.
