YOU, on the other hand, have backed off and now say "who cares?"
That's the standard response from religious people when their
beliefs about reality are
threatened by scientific investigation.
Nothing wrong with being a religious person, but why should someone
pay more attention
towhat YOU have to say than to what some fundamentalist Christian
has to say, regarding
religious and spiritual beliefs and practices?
Actually the closer you look, the more similar they are. Research is
being done on prayer. Instead of "coherence" and
"superradiance" (laser physics terms IIRC) Pat uses "laser-beam
prayer" and "Prayer offensives". It all goes to show: know your
market. For example the words "prayer offensive" may appeal more to
gun owners and military types. Coherence (my personal fav) has more
of a geek appeal.
