> At this point, prayer & science have similar influence over curing someone of Ebola.

This is so ridiculous I had to separate it just to say:

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING! SURELY YOU MUST BE BECAUSE NO INTELLIGENT EDUCATED PERSON COULD POSSIBLY HOLD THIS RIDICULOUS BELIEF.

The fact that we have people on this planet in 2014 who can actually believe something like this is the root of many of our problems.

Current treatment for Ebola is little more than hydration and quarantine, hence my comment. When ZMapp et al are shown effective, I'll change my comment.

And you are still missing the point.

You are equating praying to medical treatement. That is utter nonsense on the face of it, regardless of whether or not an established and effective treatement course exists for an ailment. I'm sorry, it's just plain stupid. Would you pray to Thor, Apollo, the Tooth Fairy, Zeus? Why not? So, pray tell, why does your brain magically stop working when your favorite god is invoked?
