Some fundie told me about this MIRACLE guy who died in a car wreck, was dead 20 minutes and spent time in Heaven with Jesus, who sent him back to earth to spread the Gospel. He claims that his lower face was "completely destroyed", resulting in his jaw and vocal cords being removed - yet he talks and sings to this day!!!
Amazingly, in his photographs, he still has a complete face with NO evidence of a catastrophic vehicle accident, and only a few slight scars... See his Website here: http://www.garywoodministries.com/
Do people actually believe this stuff? Ok, thats rhetorical, because obviously they do... BUT WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU BELEIVE THIS????
I cant even find this guy listed on the Vaticans list of documented miracles - so the CHURCH doesnt even believe his claims.... But he is doing a great job parting beleivers with their hard earned money.... Im compoletely dumbfounded that people can actually beleive this without even questioning him....

People want miracles... so they will believe any supposed miracle that is told to them... and then pay out the wazoo to see, help, etc... It's almost like a freak show.

Same reasons people believe in John Edwards speaking to the dead; they're retarded.
Or don't know how to think critically, may be in too much pain to think clearly, or as stated previously, they're retarded.

Unfortunately, he's one of many. Reason and logic take a backseat when people's hopes and fears are at stake. This guy isn't the first and he won't be the last.

if this guy living is somehow a miracle and proof of god, does that mean that all of the people that die in horrible ways are proof that there is no god? just curious
