Sunbeam,
Please take no offense to this comment, but I must say it. You said,
but we often pray for people who aren't even aware that we are praying for them. So when these prayers are answered, it is difficult to claim the placebo effect.
Actually you had a 50-50 chance, which is great odds. And if you look at it like that, minds well pray to win the lottery, odds couldn't be better, that prayer will be answered.
Funky,
I had a wart on my elbow, and after an intense wrestling match it disappeared. I had much more fun doing that, than I would have with the water trick.
