It’s not about positing the existence as such but rather about requiring active participation of supernatural forces in the process.

Which is something you just have to believe in, innit?

I remember those “studies” that attempted to prove the “effectiveness” of prayer in healing illness.

Of course I had to ask if they had a control group pf people just holding rosaries but chanting from the Koran or the Sutras, for example. Is there a SPU (standard prayer unit), one that, say, consists of three Hail Marys and/or two Our Fathers?
