Healing.

[Jojoman]

I was at a water park, and I injured my back being stupid on a ride. So I think I slipped a disc or pinched a nerve. So I went like 5 straight months of it having bad pain every time I stood up, and I could feel pressure changes in the air like I was old and stuff.

So the guy was on TV and said "I feel someone watching has a back problem, slipped disc from an injury." followed by a "In the name of Jesus..." and it never hurt fromt hat point on.

Jesus FTW!

Anybody going to touch this?

Provide before and after xrays or CAT scans or STFU.

Anecdotal evidence proves nothing.

Which is more likely

What every you problem was healed, fell into place, or made better by the placebo effect

Or

Big invisible man in the sky not only used his magic God power to heal you just at that moment but also communicated to the TV preacher to say what he did and on top of that let you suffer all the time until you fulfilled his postulate of "If you watch this tv show you will be healed"?

All I know is that it hurt everyday until up to that point. It wasn't just a coincidence or a placebo.

You're sure that it wasn't a coincidence or a placebo effect and you're also sure it was the power of Jesus. Care to explain one by one how you came to those certainties?

All you know is that it hurt every day until up to that point.

You have absolutly no way of knowing whether or not the pain ended due to placebo effect or coincidence.

Would coincidence really make a different?

I mean it's like.

"Your pain went away for no special reason. It just happened by coincidence."

Or.

"Your pain went away for a reason, it happened because someone wanted it to happen."

Isn't a coincidence pretty much the same thing as a universal force creating the event to happen?

I mean...you don't really think things just happen out of thin air do you? Of course there is something within this universe that is actually controlling things, as we sit here like puppets bounded by these simple laws and guiding our lives only partially as something else basically creates everything.

You really think there's nothing above this level of ignorance about all things? That it's just unknown?

In a creation? In a standing presentation of matter and energy? Just a random play?

What is the point of that?



It's sound so hilarious....

That's just stupid, you're about as intelligent as a Christian evangelic. You know why? Because you're thinking exactly like one.
