I just find it pathetic that otherwise intelligent people can believe that their particular brand of mumbo jumbo can have any effect on another person. On oneself, yes - the power of positive thought etc etc. And yes, I know, many people will have examples that prove conclusively that prayer works blah blah blah. But if any medicine man, witch doctor, priest, "good Christian" wanted to practise their mumbo jumbo on my behalf, I'd probably be mildly amused even, if I did find it somewhat intrusive.

And Little Hawk, please first try to distinguish between atheism and anti-theism if you want to make any sense at all.

Cheers, Terry
