A thread to bully all hypocritical God-bothering twunts ...

[sasguru]

I know someone who spontaneously recovered sight in their blind eye while praying.

.

And why do you think a supernatural explanation is better than a psychological one, since we know that humans have psychosomatic tendencies and can fool themselves in many ways?
Could it be that you're forcing the perceived phenomena to fit your prior beliefs: precisely what you accused people of doing in an earlier post?

Meaning your chosen God had the power to restore it. Meaning he was a complete t-w-a-t for taking it away in the first place then, wasn't he (or not restoring it earlier.)

The world is full of good people with health problems, doing great deeds every day of their lives for the benefit of others. And yet your god only chooses to intervene when those individuals get down on their knees and beg to him - which is all praying really is.

Absolutely pathetic.

I'm trying to work out how miracles happen. Whether it is random or related to the amount of suffering or praying. Any ideas?

[Platypus]

Miracles happen all the time.

Miracles are by their nature the exception not the rule

[d000hg]

When you say 'exception', do you mean random?

No I mean it is a rarity, not to be expected or relied upon.

Where is their medical evidence that you can stop being blind through psychology? She was medically diagnosed with blindness, it's in her medical records.

[d000hg]

LOL. They happen all the time, but it is not the norm every sick person is healed for instance. Same as how winning the lottery is the exception, but people win the lottery all the time, to re-use an earlier analogy.

[Platypus]

No I mean it is a rarity, not to be expected or relied upon.

But you said they happen all the time. Please explain.

EDIT: ok, you explained !

So you're claiming that someone medically diagnosed as blind (and that diagnosis does sometimes include partial vision) suddenly became unblind after prayer.
You should be the one producing valid documentary evidence of this not I. Do you have any?

PS I'm not saying you can stop being blind through psychology, I'm saying you can convince yourself you are through psychology.
Look up psychosomatic disorders on google there's plenty of documented interesting cases.

Yes that's right, a sore knee is comparable with being (instantly) healed from blindness.

It's causing me pain. It hurts badly 'please lord, save me from my suffering and pain, and I will make sure you get a note in the next collection. Oh, that parcel of land by Woolacombe would be nice too, and dont forget my bid on that house in Treyagon Bay'

Miracles do happen. Every 3 months or so I am told I have inherited some money thats being held in a Nigerian bank

They don't happen.

Well, with one exception: Us all getting paid for sitting on this forum all day.
