“As an atheist, I completely disagree. Research studies have indicated that prayer can be beneficial in healing the physically ill. I believe that it is the concentration of good will put out in meditation to the universe that is the magic that makes for better outcomes than would otherwise be.”

“Was that a double-blind placebo-controlled test of prayer?”

“You're a LOUSY atheist and a pretty poor example of an intelligent human being.”

“Um, as an atheist, I disagree. No self-respecting atheist would ever use un-cited "research" that claims prayer is "beneficial" in healing.

Prayer is no more beneficial for anything than random chance or luck.

Ask any amputee who has ever prayed from his limb to grow back. Ain't gonna happen.

And atheists don't believe in "magic" either. . . .pfffft.”

“You maybe speaking of the typical "placebo" effect - one-third of americans are susceptible.”

“"magic" that's all I had to read.

whatever..­.

It's ok to cling to hope, if that's what you meant.”

“"Research studies have indicated that prayer can be beneficial in healing the physically ill."

Actuially research has shown the exact opposite.”

“And I agree with YOU - there is nothing funny about this. It is unbelievable how many so-called American citizens on here are asking, "What's the big deal?"

Either they are complete neanderthals or they are so partisan that they are willfully malicious and not at all patriotic, not even by the most generous stretch of the imagination.”

Yes - I mean, it's not like another presidential assassination would mean a compromise in security or anything..­..”

“While I agree with much of what you say, I would point out that there are plenty of lethal weapons that would not be detected by a metal detector that could have gotten through easily. These two did expose glaring holes in the President's security, but they should not be rewarded nor thanked for that. They deserve to be prosecuted.”

“PAstteelers, you make a good point about this exposing the holes in the President's security system. If only for that, I too do see an upside to this. Thank goodness they didn't want to harm our President.

I appreciate that you are one soul who believes strongly in reserving judgment until all the facts are out. You and those like you should be on every jury in this country. I mean that sincerely.”

PAsteelers replied on Nov 29, 2009 at 19:36:08

“:) Thanks for your generous and kind words.

As you can see, I really despise speculations and innuendos as opposed to facts. They muddy the truth and cause unnecessary hysteria.

The parents taught me that life may not be fair, but we can all do what we can
to make it fair in our immeidate surroundings and before you know it, life will become a lot better.”

“The facts are that they were not invited and managed to get up close and personal with the President of the United States. If they had had malicious intent, we would be debating how such a horrible thing as another successful assassination of a U.S. president could happen. Those are the facts.

That is as major a security breach as I can think of and not to be taken lightly.”

“Thanks for a bit of the international perspective. I agree they should be fully prosecuted with the book thrown at them.

These two classless, crass, pathetic creatures not only need to not make any money off of this shameless and potentially dangerous act, they need to be incarcerated.

I would add that someone on the Secret Service needs to lose their job, and the entire security detail needs to go under a complete security review. Heads should roll and lessons should be learned.

If anything happens to our beloved President the Secret Service will never be forgiven by me. I feared for his safety beginning long ago, during the campaign, and the Secret Service has done nothing to allay my fears. Indeed, I would say that they have given me more reasons to fear for President Obama's safety.”

“There SHOULDN'T be a limit on that. I'm very sorry about your friend.

In fact, I think healthcare company executives should have to work a certain number of hours a year (at least 40) as attendants to the severely disabled if they want to collect their bonuses. They should also be closely scrutinized while doing so to ensure they truly care for the patient. A less-than-perfect grade would disqualify them from their bonus.”
