Which religion actually works? Beyond placebo?

Methodism.  The rest lead straight to Hell.

I am impressed by your knowledge of Methodism.  John Wesley would be proud.

Is there a religion that encourages people to trust modern science and follow doctor recommendations? That one could lead to promising results.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Going by the name you'd think Christian Science would do that.  But it's kinda the opposite.

Before I made that post, I was trying to think of a religion like that, and googled christian science because I didn't remember what they really believed.  :blush:

Heh, in my city I knew of a church with the label "First Church of Christ, Scientist". When I was a kid, this confused the hell out of me.  :lol:

But today I handed out Wesleyan points.

God, I hate waiting at the airport. It's not even clear if my flight is just delayed or outright cancelled. :ultra:

People watching can be pretty good at airports.  :)

Fuck. The aircraft I am waiting for was diverted to Amsterdam due to poor weather here in Brussels. Now I am stuck in Belgium. :cry: At least there is free beer.
