Do prayers produce usable energy?

[His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher]

This belongs more in the paranormal than in the religious realm. But
the Christians, Tibetans and many others turn to prayers. What's the
physical dimension of it?

All they have to do is pray out loud, in unison and face the windmill.
Properly focused it could produceusableenergy.
They could use it in a study.
Prayer works!
In a double blind study it was shown that prayer is more effective than a
good joke when it comes to charging a cell phone.
Naturally the atheists cried fowl and pointed out that the system was
designed for long winded and low amounts ofenergyand that the belly laugh
overwhelms the test system and wastes most of theenergy.
Further testing is planned with better systems and sneezing will be added to
the study.
"Please God don't let me sneeze, AHHHHH CHOOOO" will also be evaluated.

This is getting interesting, VERY interesting as can finally prove
that prayers have some benefits. As I was saying above, INNOVATE OR
DIE. In Africa they are turning crap into energy! I'm not kidding...

(I quote)

“You build a toilet and then what? It fills up, and then what? Right?
There’s no way to actually treat and dispose of the waste,” said
Vallabhaneni “You actually need to build out the entire sanitation
value chain to effectively tackle this problem.”

It’s that phrase—“the sanitation value chain”—that perhaps sums up the
inspiration behind the new company. Where others see a problem, the
students behind Sanergy see a resource.

...

“Which then leads to the third part, which is conversion,” said
Stradley. “So converting that waste into electricity and fertilizer
that we can sell and generate the revenue for the business as a
whole.”

And this is where the company believes there’s real money to be made.

Part of the waste can be converted into biogas – essentially methane –
which can then be burned to generate electricity, a practice that’s
currently done in parts of Europe. Some of the waste can also be
converted into fertilizer. Both are badly needed resources in this
part of the world.

Could we use the Bible for similar purposes? Can any kind of crap be
recovered this way?

Things must have a use and prayers must be studied for their
usefulness --or perhaps be discarded.

See what RELIGION does to peoples' minds?

Adults no longer believe in the Tooth Fairy - but they still torture and
kill each other over ancient myths and superstitions.

"We all remember how many religious wars were fought for a religion of love
and gentleness; how many bodies were burned alive with the genuinely kind
intention of saving souls from the eternal fire of hell." --- Karl Popper

"When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many
people suffer from a delusion, it is called Religion."
--- Robert M. Pirsig

Either God wants to abolish evil and cannot, or he can but does not want to.
If he wants to but cannot he is impotent. If he can but does not want to, he
is wicked. If he neither can nor wants to, then he is both powerless and
wicked.
--- Epicurus, Greek philosopher, circa 300 B.C.

"Act of God" disasters like the Japanese earthquake expose the myth. Either
God can do nothing to stop catastrophes like this, or he doesn't care to, or
he doesn't exist. He is thus either impotent, evil, or imaginary.
--- CNN Belief Blog, 3-20-11

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and
evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that
takes religion."
--- Steven Weinberg, quoted in The New York Times, April 20, 1999

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false,
and by rulers as useful."
--- Seneca the Younger (4? BC - 65 AD)

"Religion once ruled the world. It was called the Dark Ages." --- Ruth
Green.

"Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings." ---
Victor Stenger.

"I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose." ---
Clarence Darrow

"As my ancestors are free from slavery, I am free from the slavery of
religion." --- Butterfly McQueen

"Faith is believing what you know ain't so." --- Mark Twain

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in
all fiction." --- Richard Dawkins

"Cult today, religion tomorrow."

Hey, my book 'Jungle Wisdom Quotations' is coming soon! ;)

For example, "Stay away from poisonous snakes."

But the wisdom of the Vatican is so much greater...

Has anybody compared the effectiveness of prayer vs. anti-viral drugs
in the treatment of HIV?
Which religion's prayers were found to work best against HIV, proving
that it's the true religion?

The Vatican prayers went to fight AIDS and dismiss condoms.

What could be smarter than that?
