In my opinion, belief in the efficacy of prayer is immune to evidence. It founders on the inability to define a prayer objectively, let alone tell if a prayer has occurred. And it counts the hits and ignores the misses.

I suppose we could say we got complacent. It has been decades of this and with conservative and liberal federal governments. But what should we do, roll over? Thanks for being spectacularly unhelpful PP.
