1. I am not religious |
What do you describe as religious? This is one of the greatest scape goat words in history. Religious probably applies to most people on the planet.

2. My entire point is that most religious people agree with you--god does not heal people because of prayer

The Bible testifies that praying for healing works.
[/quote]The purpose is otherwise. Like I said earlier, prayer brings a medidative, calming state in the right frame of mind. I think this is one of its purposes. I don't know for sure, I haven't prayed in years, but then I don't find meditation very helpful either.[/quote]True, but this is most often called meditation, and yes some kinds of prays are considered meditative.
