Reply #87: If they're praying, they don't want to understand Science.

[boppers]

Magical sky-gods don't cap wells, or stop atomic reactions, no matter how much a person prays. Humans do that, and God, so far, hasn't given two shits to control or stop it.

"I keep seeing this "Science" you speak of lead to people asking for Prayers and comments of "May God have mercy on us(and our stupidity)""

A re-phrase:
'I keep seeing this "Science" you speak of lead to people asking for actual help and comments of "May we have mercy on us(and our stupidity)"'

So....

Some people have a medical emergency... and pray.
Others have a medical emergency... and contact doctors.

Guess which one has a higher survival rate.

Go ahead, guess.

In Oregon, we've started convicting people for child abuse when they "pray" to end illness.
