Faith Healing

So, I checked out Benny Hin the other day, just b/c I wanted to see what everyone was raving about. Do ppl actually believe this crap?

And, alas, there are a LOT of stupid people out there.

These are the same people who, if you were to take a dump that by some stretch of the imagination looks like the Virgin Mary, would flock by the thousands to see it...
 
Yes, and actually, there's more to it than you would think...

The mind is a very, very powerful thing. It doesen't have anything to do with religion, but just wanting to be "healed" has a profound yet little understood impact on the overall situation....

I don't know exactly what you're talking about here though, maybe I didn't make the correct inference.

Yeah. I touched the screen during one of his rants and I turned into a bullfrog.

Ribbit.
 
It's all about the power of the mind right? I have no clue who Benny Hin is, but as far as faith healing goes, I don't believe the "healer" actually heals them but makes the patient "believe" that he is and in turn their general state of mind becomes better. It's not someone I would see if I was sick though.
 
general rule of thumb:

if a preacher uses a television show to repeatedly beg for money, he's a fraud.
We've got information in the information age but do we know what life is
Outside of our convenient Lexus cages
She said, he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow
Brings us closer to a God
Who'se not short of cash

The easiest way to tell the difference between a good preacher on TV and a TV Evangelist that just wants your money... one has an audience, the other has a church.
 
I don't believe in it. Religion can inspire you to feel better or heal over time, but the whole faith healing bit. meh... pretty extreme if you ask me.

'touch this snake' *BAM* I CAN SEE OMGWTFJESUSSAVES

i don't know... i do believe in 'miracles' but the fact that 99% of the faith healing crap happens on TV is enough to make one doubt the authenticity.

I've never seen real faith healing on TV, but I have seen it.
 
You really think that a T.V. evangelist is going to pray for you after you send him money? Yeah, like he's going to spend his time praying... He'll be out on his Jet Ski doing laps around his private island and banging hot chicks.

It's funny you should mention that, because sometimes they show all that on TBN. No joke, they will brag and show off all the hawt stuff they buy with your money, and then ask for more. And people will send it!
