Why not, if it works .................

A group of rabbis and Jewish mystics flew over Israel chanting prayers and blowing ritual ram horns in the belief that they would be able to stop the spread of swine flu in Israel.

The purpose of the flight was to stop the (swine flu) epidemic so that people will not keeping dying from it," Rabbi Yitzhak Basri, one of the participants, told the newspaper, Yediot Achronot.

Dire warnings have been issued that there could be as many as 7,000 deaths in the coming fall and winter. Amid disputes about where the money will come from, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised that the government will buy enough of the vaccine, once it is developed, to protect all of the country's citizens from the flu.

There are Healing prayers for the sick based on increasing ones spiritual faith, confidence and mental power to overcome what you have suffered bodily. Indeed what the mind speaks, the boby follow suits, just like when you walk, talk and moves with subconcious mind directives.

this is so double edged.

if the praying 'works', and swine flu fizzles out, then people will use it as proof for reason to pray.

but what if it continues? if the prayers don't work?

will you use it as an example of why praying is useless?

No.

What a joke!

"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.
