>>I don't think it hurts to pray and, in fact, several studies have shown that patients who are the targets of prayer groups do better even if the patients don't know they are being prayed for.<<

I've looked into this before and have yet to find a study with these results that has not already been debunked. On the contrary, most of these studies have shown just the opposite... that when performed properly with a control group, petitionary prayer has exactly zero effect. None.

Can you point to some studies for me?
