I have a friend who sincerely believed God would heal by his exercise of faith healing. Ive known him forever and have not ever seen him do anything that doesnt fall softly into simple human experience.
However, I assure you, the is 100% sincere and "believes". No amputee has ever been "healed" right? Thats because the healing process can be objectively observed.
Ive done some research on this and never run into any real proof of faith healing...put another, nothing that doesnt otherwise happen outside faith healing...follow?
I think most people understand this subconsciously, but like Andy Kaufmann, when afflicted, will try anything. If we understand this is fakery and healings just dont work, does it not follow that prayer also...doesnt work? After all, an attempt at healing is just another type of prayer, in both cases, we ask for supernatural help.
Oh I know, you want to tell me how God works "you see, if your heart isnt purple and glowing...then he wont help ya"..sigh.
