Higher Logic · 04-10-2006, 11:17 PM

This is from one of my favorite blogs, it has to do with the recent study on prayer:

Quote:

Curses offered by strangers to induce heart failure are highly effective, concludes a $3.4 million study to be published in the American Heart Journal next week.

Researchers told 1,802 paranoid schizophrenics at six mental institutions that government agents in black helicopters were circling their buildings and praying for their hearts to explode. Nearly 97% of the patients suffered cardiac arrest within two hours, with the remainder experiencing acute arrhythmia.

"Satan apparently loves to be tested," said Dr. Harold Benson, the cardiologist who authored the study.

Skeptics dismissed the results as the power of suggestion on highly unstable subjects. However, Dr. Benson noted that the patients' paranoia was not a relevant factor because the helicopters were real rather than the product of delusion. He further noted that there was no statistically significant difference in the morality rate among a second group of 1,635 paranoiacs, who were falsely advised that the black helicopters circling their buildings were not full of government agents wishing them death.
