According to the researchers from Oxford University, people who really have faith in God can ease pain. Karl Marx had famously said, “Religion is the opium for people.”
To understand the power of faith healing, the researchers at the Oxford University conducted a study on 24 people, in which 12 Roman Catholics and 12 atheists. They all were “tortured” with a series of electric shocks as they studied two paintings – Virgin Mary and Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady With An Ermine.
