First a man came up on crutches. "What is your name?" asked the healer. "Charlie" <br />"And what's wrong with you, Charlie". <br />"I can't walk without crutches". "Charlie, go behind the screen there. Now who else needs God's help?" A man comes forward. "What's your name?" <br />"F-f-f-f-Fred" says the man. <br />"And what's wrong with you, Fred?" "I s-s-s-s-s I got a s-s-s-stutter"<br />"Go behind the screen Fred. Now Charlie, throw away your right crutch" <br />Right crutch comes over the screen, to applause from the crowd. "Now throw away your left crutch" Over comes the left crutch, more applause. <br />"Now Fred, say something".<br />Fred's voice comes from behind the screen:<br />"Charlie has thrown away his crutches and now he's f-f-f-f-f-fallen over"DocRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903964792092284406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441439.post-34470319017499928562009-09-15T10:54:45.195+01:002009-09-15T10:54:45.195+01:00Thanks so much for this, Paul.

A vast number of very sedate mainstream churches have healing services, essentially buying into this bizarre outlook.<br /><br />Taking mainstream views and walking the reader through why they're nonsense is one of the prime functions of blogging. <br /><br />As for the bible being a beautiful story, well, maybe we've been reading different bibles. Is your version done by the same people who did the 'Love Conquers All' cut of Brazil?<br /><br />Most of mine's taken up with the Old Testament, a lurid account of needless suffering, vicious brutality meted out be a cruel and vengeant god, and also by his chosen people on others with his blessing.<br /><br />Then the final third is the New testament wherein more suffering - both random and deliberate - are inflicted on assorted people, followed by the wwords of the messiah being twisted into authoritarian claptrap by St Paul, closing with that wacky psychedelic nightmare of Revelations.<br /><br />You must lend me the beautiful version some time.merrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959849087751101034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441439.post-73425223673392936572009-09-08T22:00:52.265+01:002009-09-08T22:00:52.265+01:00I personally am offended when anyone suggests that...I personally am offended when anyone suggests that if you pray enough, God will heal you of your disease. It's easier to believe a miracle happened when the disease isn't so black & white. I personally think that a 'miracle' is not in how you are physically healed, but in the way that you transcend illness/disability in your actions. Basically, the mircacle being how you/people who you know deal with this and how these things can lead to a higher understanding. I think the bible in general is a beautiful story, but a story. It doesn't matter really if it's true or not. Taking these things literally, well, I don't see the point. Check out Joseph Cambell & his teachings on the power of myth. Then people would not have to get so caught up in this kind of back-and-forth nonsense. I think the quotes here from the Christians are as strange and the person who has dedicated so much time into posting them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441439.post-63846853735135701492009-09-05T20:53:09.301+01:002009-09-05T20:53:09.301+01:00It's not only God who despises the armless - m...It's not only God who despises the armless - more importantly it's the banks, the Gods of the so-called Free World.<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/02/bank-of-america-asks-arml_n_275882.html<br /><br />Quote:<br />All Steve Valdez wanted to do was cash a check from his wife during his work break.
