D&D General The Satanic Panic never really died?

Children are the future and are living people but folks act as if they were toy extensions of their parents and raising them was some kind of pastime. It's a serious activity and it should be regulated like a serious activity. Not just have regulation mind you, but be stringently regulated like any other serious undertaking.

Additionally, parents as a demographic need to be taken down a peg. They have a tendency to bully other adults, either indirectly through lobbying for unnecessary and oppressive laws, or directly by using their status as a parent as an excluse to demand preferential treatment unrelated to the raising of their children. Especially the former; many of the most egregiously unnecessary laws can be traced back to parents acting in the capacity of parents

When you have kids I hope every bit of your time together gets stringently regulated and that you get taken down a peg etc etc etc.

Okay I don't really wish that. I really wish you would see that pretty much every bad thing you could do to a kid is already illegal and more regulation on top of that just won't be beneficial. More regulation just isn't a silver bullet to solve all problems.

I agree it was one of the better studies we could have done and is very interesting - but I don't believe science is capable of proving or disproving the supernatural.

Some supernatural claims are approachable in direct fashion because they make claims of impact on the natural world (this is one and a pretty common one - but not the only obviously) and if they hadn't dotted all their i's and crossed their t's additionally they pretty much had bias to prove the opposite of their results.

I see you ignored my 2 direct objections. No way to rule out inadvertent prayers. No way to rule out observation changing the results.

Not all some places have Vaccines in the obligatory others allow some really wishy washy excuses

Heisenberg is only applicable at a quantum level really its statistically covered by basic statistics. (I have minor in physics)

And saying but what if every single person is being prayed for seems kind of I do not know reaching too?

The solution of that is to allow the parents to make the decision but go after people that falsely slander and libel the vaccines. IMO.

They have already mostly done the latter to the extent perhaps that it can be done. (Maybe a few more people who have no credibility anyway but still get followers could be fined?)

There are large parts of the world though who do not allow the flimsy excuses only medical ones.

Dang dude..... try to fill in some gaps yourself so communicating with you isn't so tedious.

I'm not claiming the Heisenberg uncertainty principle applies here - i'm saying there's no way to rule out that SOMETHING like that may be occurring.

And saying but what if every single person is being prayed for seems kind of I do not know

I'm saying you can't know who was and who wasn't. Nor can you know if the person praying actually has God's ear. All that kind of stuff.

So I think prayer could have been proven to be effective - but it can't be conclusively proven to not be effective. It's just not possible.

Or jail when someone unvaccinated dies or gets sick etc...
