Oh, I don't think it deserves a thread. I just thought it was particularly hapless.
If anyone is that interested, I'll take the article apart piece by piece, but I don't think that's particularly necessary.

Re: Listing the Issues
But the panel's examination of studies showing the effect of church attendance on health reached an altogether different conclusion. As Dr. Powell, who is continuing to research this issue, puts it: "After seeing the data, I think I should go to church."
Well, apart from anything else, and there is so much else ...
... where did they decide the difference between causation and correlation? I'm sure that there is a statistical correlation between physical health and going to church. And between physical health and going bowling. And between physical health and visiting a prostitute. There's obviously going to be a statistical correlation between being physically able and participating in any leisure activity that requires one to get out of one's chair.

Re: Listing the Issues
Oh look, marc wants this thread to be about his usual ramblings. What a surprise. And this has rendered him incapable of understanding simple English words, who'd have thought it?
