uberdesigner, no it hasn't. Show me the science and how this has been "proven". Go back up to my first post in this thread and read about what true prayer is and the variables in these kinds of "studies".
Kona, I hear you. I think it's because, in Christ, you have more than just a philosopher. You have someone who claimed to be God in the flesh and who required a changed of heart in people. A change that denies self. You have someone who made absolute claims about who he was and how salvation was found in no other. Absolute claims like this are not popular in our pluralistic culture. People do not like the "light" that Christ shines on their "dark hearts" - as the Bible puts it. Whereas, the dead prophets of world religions don't require a relationship by faith. No, they are more about mystical life principles that don't expose people's sin. So, they are fun to chat about without fear of intollerance from others.
