Study: God is an Ineffective, Possibly Harmful Medical Intervention System

NY Times reports the first large, rigorous study of prayer's effect on recovering patients: prayer by strangers doesn't work, and in some case appears to make things slightly worse.

This indisputable science appears to rule out Catholicism and Protestantism as effective disease fighting religions. I await the results on shintoism and Zorastrianism.

You realize of course that Flying Spaghetti Monsterism actually explains the results of this study perfectly.

Apparently the FSM can alter the results of scientific studies at will!

So if I become sick, please pray for me to the FSM.

But please, don't let me know you're doing it...
