If you do, then do you believe that prayer can heal, then do you believe that in America (predominantly Christian) more people are healed than in China (predominantly non-Christian)?

No, I think that some people would get well regardless of prayers and that others wouldn't. That gives Christian folk a lot of leeway. It might be psychologically good for the patient and their mind set might improve, but still, if they're going to get well, they will, prayer or no.
You've got it made because, if they don't get well, you just say "It was God's will". Win win situation!

Prayer does not heal sickness. God heals sickness after He hears your sincere prayers.
More people are healed in America because we have a far better healthcare system. Life in China and the Far East (excluding Japan and the other industrialzed nations) in general is cheap. The future is bleak for 99.9% of the people who live there, so they don't make heroic efforts to save people. What they need is free-market capitalism backed up by the rule of law (not men). It worked here-- we came from nothing to being the world's sole superpower in just over 200 years. How long has China been around?

Yes, I believe that prayer heals sickness and I believe that America has countless blessings.
Just look at the mortality rate of China.

I think that we are all children of God, even if an individual doesn't think they are. I DO believe in healing prayer. How do we know people in China don't pray. Maybe they say "Please be with me in this time of need!" and God answers them just like he/she would answer you or me. What do you think?

yes, prayer heals sickness. Prayer cannot be bound by a nation's borders, so no to more americans than chinese being healed by prayer.
