How much of this is an act? Faith Healers and falling bodies..

People believe weird shit. There are vocal defenders of "dowsing" on this very forum.

I didn't know I was supposed to "fall"... he pretty much bopped me in the head again, but a little harder. I saw somebody else near me getting prayed for take the fall, so after he did it the third time, I figured I'd rather not be hit in the head anymore, so I took the fall.

I got right back up, went around and got back in the same line, and the preacher said, "Weren't you just up here?", to which I replied, "Yes, but now I have a headache."

I was grounded for a month...

EDIT: Once I turned 18 and moved out from home, I never stepped foot in another church again.

Awesome. I went to Christian camp when I was younger with some of my friends, and I was having asthma attacks from the mold where I was sleeping. So we set up a bunch of fans where I was sleeping for air circulation and I slowly got better. The guy in charge, who has since become a preacher (he's a good guy, just IMO attributes too much to faith) did a "faith healing" on me by putting a cross on my forehead with vegetable oil and saying some prayers. That was so incredibly awkward. I was better after a day or 2, most likely because of the air circulation where I was sleeping.

.i'm not even religious and i think it's a joke.

This sentence doesn't make sense. I think you mean:

1) I'm even religious and I think it's a joke.

OR

2) I'm not religious and I think it's a joke.

Self Induced. Same kind of "Experiences" happen in many other Religions.
