    Strange thing is, whomever made this chart seems to be ignorant to the purpose of prayer, which isn't typically a selfish act. It's either giving thanks or wishing well upon another person. The guy who made this chart seems to think it's about asking God for a winning lottery number or something. If you do that, then you're not praying in the way that any religion I've ever heard of encourages.

      The only effect that placebos have is psychological, just like religion.

      If Hank was new, I could have assumed that he believed placebos actually had a physical effect. Opposed to mocking the placebo effect of religion.

      Comprende?

      Belief and willpower can have an effect on otherwise random outcomes.

      That being said, people who pray probably don't believe it's gonna work, they're not going to pray about something small enough to effect, and by praying they're abandoning their own willpower and asking some eye-in-the-sky to do something.

    • Oranjeboom
      Oranjeboom 2009-01-14T22:15:11Z says:

      Yes, placebos do work somethines. That just goes to show easy it is to believe something that is absolute bullshit & doesn't (really) do anything when you have 'faith'.

      Another jab at religion there.

      Placebos are stupid & only effect the feeble minded. I see why Hank would have faith in them.

      I don't see something as working, until it fucking works. I don't just assume something is because I expect it to. THAT would be the pinnacle of ignorance.

    • HankChinaski
      HankChinaski 2009-01-15T17:22:42Z says:

      C'mon, man, try to think a little clearer. It's not me having faith in them. I don't take placebos so my faith or lack thereof is irrelevant. Some people believe in them. Placebos have a psychological effect on those people. Because of that belief there is a physical effect. There is usually, I think, a more positive result as compared to groups given nothing in control groups of experiments testing new medicines.

      I was pretty sure that was common knowledge.

    • Oranjeboom
      Oranjeboom 2009-01-15T17:41:29Z says:

      The only reason those tests bring positive results is because of the idiots cognitive bias. They expect it to be working so when asked, 'are you feeling better', the will respond with 'errrr...yeah'.

      Hank, there is NEVER any physical effect, whatsoever. Any effect that the placebos have will be psychological. That is exactly why they only work at all in certain circumstances. The won't increase the healing rate of an infection or anything like that. They may improve someone's mood but that is obviously the psychological effect. Again. nothing physical.

      "Placebos are stupid."

      That statment is stupid. Placebos are neither stupid nor smart and they affect more than the feeble minded.

      (They probably affect those that didn't go to the gym enough, right? You know, the people that are getting weak genes.)

    • Oranjeboom
      Oranjeboom 2009-01-15T18:18:13Z says:

      You're diverting from your course, Hank. You were saying that placebos have a physical effect.

      Are you admitting defeat? Or are you clutching at straws?

      P.S. placebos are stupid.

      Yawn. Checked Wiki. You are still wrong.

      It said three or four times, "psychological effect triggering a physical effect" or "physiobiological effect." It also said "effective at relieving pain". Are you going to say now, 'pain is purely mental and isn't physical at all?'

      Placebos do produce physical effects due to people believing in them. It doesn't matter if those people and the placebos are big stupid heads.

You've got some kinda beef with placebos, it seems. Whatever. I couldn't fucking care less. All I've been saying is they have a physical effect due to the psychological effect.

      Why don't you go check Wiki so you can see you are wrong and shut the fuck up?

    • Oranjeboom
      Oranjeboom 2009-01-15T18:49:34Z says:

      As for pain:

      People can be conditioned to expect analgesia(also known as a painkiller) in certain situations. When those conditions are provided to the patient, the brain responds by generating a pattern of neural activity that produces objectively quantifiable analgesia.

      So as I said before, the only reason those tests bring positive results is because of cognitive bias. It is all in the mind.

      You're wrong.

      HankChinaski 2009-01-15T18:56:09Z says:

      Also, since people usually are not told when they recieve a placebo, how does an effect make them FEEBLE minded? Seems to me, it's the POWER of their minds that is causing the physical effect.

      You seem to think a placebo is like believing in faith healing or something. It's not, people know placebos aren't medicine. It's just they think they are taking real medicine. They expect their health to improve and in many cases it does. Even if only temporary, they are phyical effects. You are wrong. Sorry. Sucks to be you.

      Fugs, it is when you get a barbell (that's the long one), start at your shoulders then push it up over your head until your arms are fully extended & locked out. Then rinse & repeat.*

    I was watching something yesterday about mediums & some of the really cool tricks they did. It went on to say how people believed in what the mediums said & even went to the extent of the mediums words becoming a self fulfilling prophecy. It basically came down to humans naturally wanting an easy answer to what we didn't know. In steps religion.

    I wonder just how much protection money the top 3 religions have accumulated.

    I would like to start a religion. All that is required of the mucho crowd is a small $10 monthly subscription fee in my Paypal account and you too will be blessed by my divinity. I shall look over you, my children.
