I'm sorry but this immediately made me think of this:

Vince, Eric, Turtle and Drama look out towards the Pacific Ocean at the sun setting

Turtle: What direction is that?
Drama: That's east, you idiot.
Eric: It's west, idiot.
Drama: [Pauses, thinking] Well, i mean, in New York, its east.

There was a study done among cancer patients recently. As it turned out; those who had friends and family praying for them fared worse than the control group. This could of course just be a joke from god but...

I remember partaking in a mass prayer over 8-10 yrs ago. There were out of control fires in Texas that had gone on for weeks. An experiment was conducted by Art Bell (radio host) when one of his listeners suggested that he enlist all the listeners to "pray" for rain. He instructed the listeners to close their eyes, relax and visualize rain clouds forming over Texas. I laughed at first until I heard listeners in Texas reporting rain even though the weather forecast didn't call for any precipitation for WEEKS to come. I was astonished.

Don't discount the power of the mind. Chinese doctors use chi gong (directed flow of energy w/in the body) to cure many ailments. They are able to tap into this energy through "prayer" (meditation w/ a focus on a desired outcome). I believe that is what happened in the case of Doyle and the remission of his cancer to the point where it completely went away.

FWIW, I'll have mouse in hand.

There is no such evidence. Praying does not cure cancer or anything else. Nor is there anything like "positive energy" as you describe.

You are wrong. There is a large pool of evidence that says you are talking out of your ass.

What the Bleep do we know?

I could go on and on, of course, but I doubt very much that you'll actually bother checking any of those links. That would require effort. No, instead, you'll dismiss it out of hand, because you are close-minded and ignorant. I'd hate to live life like a know-it-all fool personally, but good luck to you.

This is an excellent idea, however to make sure that this is as effective as possible i think we should divide up into groups, each praying to a different god.
I will be praying to IXMAN " Last sighted somewhere in the Mayan hinterlands with antlers on his head and smoking a cigar".
