[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There may be no significant medical effect.

Please don't mis-state facts.  There IS NO significant medical effect.[/quote]

Where's the mis-statement? The language here is "may be no...but...."  A turn of phrase that's used by educated people everywhere, who understand that it doesn't imply anything definitive about the first clause.

[quote=Anonymous][quote]But if you're giving someone hope, or demonstrating that you love them enough to spend time on them by praying, those things can have non-quantifiable but great impacts on a patient.[/quote]

I would assume there are many ways to do this.  If the recipient asks for prayers, even as a non-believer I would (and do) consent.  but if they don't ask, there are other ways to show support, some which may be more practical. [/quote]

What's your point here? OP's atheist friend asked for prayers, not for flowers or teddy bears.

Yikes. Between trashing OP for asking an innocent question, and twisting everybody else's words around, you exemplify what you accuse OP of doing: meddling in somebody else's business and embroidering fantastically on the pretty simply facts in the OP.[/quote]
