Praying to Fail

nospam@example.com (Michael Parham) — Fri, 03 May 2013 05:23:00 +0000

I often listen to lectures while driving or walking.

Recently, I listened as a social psychologist presented his theories about how and why many people reject God and turn to atheism. But what really got my attention was the question and answer session following his lecture. A statistical psychologist explained a study in which he and other psychologists documented the religious behavior of a group of aspiring professionals who were required to pass a rigorous examination in order to be licensed to practice their profession. As the test date drew nearer, many of those in the study group reported spending more time praying—including those who professed not to be religious. Surprisingly—or perhaps not—the study concluded that those who prayed the most were more likely to fail the exam.
