Fighting the same thing here.  But look on the bright side, FluMom, we did't get to be this old by sticking our heads in the sand.

Serious or not, there is no evidence that saying prayers to a mythological god is going to help much but each to their own.

No, but it makes us believers feel better.  Less stressed people have better immune systems.

Actually I just googled and there have been numerous scientific studies on the power of prayer, I didn't take time to read them.  I know what my heart, gut and head all believe and in todays society, probably all phoophoo'd for one reason or another. But when doctors can't explain how sight is restored, a brain tumour disappears overnight, intestines suddenly grow within a body, kidneys below 4% function (person sent to palliative care waiting for the collapse) when a healing circle prays over them and the next am they are at 17% function, within a couple weeks back to full function ...I've seen and talked to enough people - I will choose to stick with my 'living' God, he IS all powerful, the creator of all, and the ultimate healer!

If you are open to reading about peoples 'miracles' there are a few truly good books on the market: 

Real Life Real Miracles ( by James Garlow and Keith Wall) is a second book from these authors (I haven't accessed the first Miracles Are For Real yet) but this one has some amazing stories in it.  My mom just gave me a copy of the Chicken Soup Miracles book - will start to read it over next few days. 

Regardless of what beliefs you have or don't have, I wish you "God Speed" in the coming weeks, months and years, as I happen to believe we are the 'terminal generation' - there are going to be some incredibly 'interesting' events coming at us (as in the peoples of this planet).   


If it's to be - it's up to me!

Albert - why do the font's keep changing size, background color etc on their own?  And how do we turn the highlighting off? I see it did it to a sentence above and most articles I try to cut & paste have at least a chunk of article that does it...

If it's to be - it's up to me!

Last time I looked, God wasn't listed in Greek mythology...
