why don't you try to pray for yourself and see if it has any impact on your condition? |
Because I am not an idiot?
Besides, even if a theistic deity did hypothetically exist, said deity would not interfere in the affairs of man anyway, making the entire process completely and utterly a waste of time.

there always has to be some type of precedent or cause associated with a belief, people don't just believe things in a vacuum, there is always some type of stimulus that affects their behavior people may believe in god because of a book, or spiritual experience or whatever the other thing is that people regard these things as evidence to themselves subjectively so what you put there is not entirely right
there is a reason for example that the doctors of the past believe in blood letting just as the christian believes in god because of their bible

Those people are regarded as idiots.
Believing in something simple because of a book is gullibility.
You need more than just a book, you need more than just some kind of random experience. You need proof, you need evidence, you need citations/sources.
What doctors believed in the past is ultimately irrelevant, we have already established that science, including medical science will change as new information comes available, science is flexible that way, religion is not.

You are aware that you just labeled all theists on this planet who are also praying as idiots, arf?
Also: "Besides, even if a theistic deity did hypothetically exist, said deity would not interfere in the affairs of man anyway, making the entire process completely and utterly a waste of time." ,arf.
You mean deism, arf? Also, that is a claim made by you which you need to provide proof for, arf.
