      Yes by rejected equally I mean always rejected, exactly because god doesn’t exist.
      Some claim that the reason we can’t see the effect, is because god doesn’t reveal himself.
      Funny thing is though, that a study on how prayer works for sick people showed they actually got worse!
      So there isn’t even a beneficial psychological effect, it’s actually negative.
      If god was working without revealing himself, there is no reason it should be worse.
      So when people claim there is no evidence against the existence of god I disagree.
      There is no evidence that a god exist, but there is actually evidence against the existence of the Judaic god.
      Also the complete lack of evidence for the existence of a god, is evidence that the existence of a god is highly unlikely.

        Uuh, is it because they refuse other types of treatment? That is a pretty important distinction. I don’t believe for a second that just praying magically makes you more sick.

          Nope exact same treatment, apparently the psychological effect of knowing that people are praying for you makes it worse, all else being equal.
