If your friends/relatives/loved ones are really sick, you'd do better to get them some medical attention, rather than give them a lump of clay "hand-painted to match all ethnic groups."
In fact, studies have shown that sick people who are prayed for by strangers, as is the deal with these clay uni-ethnic "angel" dolls, actually have more complications than those who don't have to suffer such prayers.

If you don't want a sample of something, move on to the next post. But please respect people who are in situations that you are not personally involved in.
Thanks Mom2Aaron for the post.:bigok:

We are all entitled to find whatever solace in whatever place we can and in times of crisis prayer makes a lot of people feel better. Let people put their faith where they want to...
And not to sound insensitive to your position 737 patients out of the MILLIONS that do pray and believe that prayer has something to do with recovery and that prayers do get answered is a small number.
