"Once A Man Was Asked, โWhat Did You Gain By Regularly Praying To God?โ The man replied โnothingโฆbut let me tell you what I lost: anger, ego, greed, depression, insecurity, and fear of death.' Sometimes, the answer to our prayers is not gaining, but losing; which ultimately is the gain."
While religion may lower suicide risks, prayer has been linked to higher suicide risks (see next slides, taken from same article).
Praying weekly increases suicide risk.
Praying weekly increases suicide risk.
This is the dumbest thing I've read in 2 years. Apparently praying to invisible being who never answers your prayers is a magical cure for depression, insecurity, thanatophobia, rage, and "ego" (as if that needs cured?). Prayer has been linked to suicide risk: ๐ pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Ancient royals did not trust just anyone as doctors. They had royal doctors who were of their own royal class, whose patients were fellow royals & a few royal servants. For common people, they had "lesser" trained, basic physicians, IF they had any for them at all.
