In the 40's and 50's church goers prayed for heart and cancer patients till their knees were bloody. They suffered and died anyway. The average life expectency for a white male in the U S was 64 years. Billions and billions of prayers were ignored and/or unanswered.

Now...with better diets, electronic diagnostic systems, bypass surgery, heart catherization, stents, transplants, chemo therapy, radiation, etc. patients with the same kind of ailments live into their 80's and 90's and the average life expectency has advanced to 78. When are foolish people going to catch on to the fact that ancient god worship is fantasy? You know.....like Jack and the Beanstalk.

Prayer, at least, does no harm.

The sermon he posted a few days later is just heartbreaking and moving. And wise.
