Re: An experiment to prove or disprove the power of prayer
[ QUOTE ]
It seems odd that god would command us not to take steps to verify his existence. If my belief in god is supposed to be completely based on faith, then how do I chose between the Jewish god and other gods who I am supposed to accept purely based on faith?

Uhmmm, By definition faith is without proof.
faith n.
Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.
Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.
Also, a catholic, (or most magisterial, liturgical protestants) would tell you the chief purpose of man is to bring glory to God, and that this is only done through FAITH. (See definition above, the confident belief in a God you have no physical proof of.)
