I didn't say that. I have no problem with people believing things that don't have evidence (though I can't bring myself to do it). I have a problem with people trying to convince me that something that is a matter of belief is actually a matter of science.

"I believe prayer works." I have no problem with that statement, though I disagree.

"I believe prayer works because of the nature of quantum particles," I have a problem with.
