Faith vs Reality
Which one is more powerful?faith or reality?
The story about the Russian experiment
There was once a prisoner who was given the "Hang to Death" punishment. The Russian scientist met him & asked if he would like to do something for humanity while dying. They wanted him for an experiment test where instead of hanging to death he would be bitten by snake. The prisoner found "No loss" in this deal. So the papers were signed & the prisoner was given to the scientist for conducting their deadly experiment.
In the experiment a very venomous snake was shown to the prisoner. It was told that his eyes will be closed by a cloth & then this snake would bite him and he would die. They wanted to note the reactions how fast the poison mounts the body. The prisoner agreed. They closed his eyes with a cloth.
Now instead of the venomous snake they took a needle & pinched on the forefinger of his leg. Within few seconds his body became blue & bubble & foam started coming out of the mouth just as in case of a real snake bite! Mind power over body power? What we believe happens? Does faith or reverse faith works?!! Some of this questions are still unanswered & unproved.

Indeed, the mind is very powerful. If we are told that we have an incurable disease and we´re about to die within a week..... then we will!
Both placebo, and nocebo are very effective.
This is what is happening with the said "virus" and the said "vaccine".
Put fear in someone´s mind, you believe it and then create it!
Women are a bit more think of the children pragmatic. Avoid making mistakes, avoid deceiving yourself. Caution and the idea of slowing down enough to take in reality.
Nor were you raised with a certain culture
towards women.
How about if I speak for all men everywhere,the ones here don't agree about anything Chesney
I've to disagree with you here Dani, it is not a good example of mind over matter JMO

Faith v's reality.... Faith of course
I think faith is stronger than reality.
because of what I said, I'm not sure if your comment is directed at me or not.
I never implied anyone to be lying, I just don't believe it a tall.
As for what happened in England ....
Right or wrong but sounds to me a small community of people, maybe doctor included all plotted together with a hope of a little wind fall, sue the council, compensation coming to mind here
As for that silly pastor, for once I'm lost for words.
Sometimes MrAmor, tragic realities give power to faith in humanity.
Well thanks for your valuable comments.
What is "Zman" means?
I saw this word first time.
