Joyner: Our Prayers Regrow Amputated Limbs

[HarveyDarkey]

Rick Joyner recalls how a friend had his amputated finger almost completely regrown through prayer ... until they got distracted before it could be finished.

1. LIAR! This false prophet should be exposed and publicly shamed!

What a load of shit!

[HarveyDarkey]

4. Yet there are those who believe him because they're so indoctrinated

Don't you love american education?

[longship]

2. Special pleading!!!!

Utter Bullshista. I agree with responder.

Fucking liar.

[intaglio]

3. Pictures or it didn't happen

and it was "almost " regrew a lost finger except they were "interupted", and they didn't have a camera to hand.

7. Pictures, hell!

A supposed "miracle" like this should require extensive monitoring and documentation by a host of doctors, none of whom are fundy nutballs. No pictures or video would be trustworthy in and of themselves. A little repetition of the phenomenon would also be required, unless they're going to claim that "god" only had in in him to cure one finger out of all the limbs that have ever been amputated and all of those people who have prayed to have them grown back whole and like new.

5. They use stem cell powder now to do that. But before stem cells, they used

pig bladder powder to regrow fingers.

6. This is something that I can somewhat understand. It is analogous to using donor bone tissue to....

...prepare for dental implant. The donor bone matrix is infused with elements from your own blood, which, over time, basically make the implant part of your body. This is science. I get this.

The original post claims through the power of prayer and prayer only, missing limbs are regrown. That is not science. That is bullshit.

8. Careful

Calling a religious person's deeply held beliefs "bullshit" on this board will bring the tone scolds and their lapdogs down on you like a ton of bricks. Didn't you know that EVERY belief and claim is of equal validity? Asking for actual evidence to back them up constitutes "harassment", "bullying", "bigotry", "persecution" and "personal attacks".

[LARED]

10. Wow, talk about making stuff up.

Didn't you know that EVERY belief and claim is of equal validity?

Please point out where anyone has ever claimed that.

[skepticscott]

12. Please point out

where I said anyone had.

[LARED]

16. Try reading your post and what I asked.

[skepticscott]

17. I did. It's nowhere

Prove me wrong or admit that you're the one making shit up. Cite the EXACT quote where I said specifically that someone had claimed "EVERY belief and claim is of equal validity".

Tick tock.

[LARED]

18. Well then you need to explain your post when you claim someone believes that

Calling a religious person's deeply held beliefs "bullshit" on this board will bring the tone scolds and their lapdogs down on you like a ton of bricks. Didn't you know that EVERY belief and claim is of equal validity?

[skepticscott]

19. Try again

Cite the EXACT quote where I said specifically that someone had claimed "EVERY belief and claim is of equal validity". Asserting your lack of understanding of my real meaning does not meet that request.

Tick tock.

[LARED]

20. Those goal posts must be getting heavy.

Have a nice day.

[skepticscott]

21. Lame. Try again.

Show us where I ever said that anyone had claimed "that EVERY belief and claim is of equal validity?"

We both know you can't, but I'm having fun watching you squirm and make a bigger fool of yourself.

[LARED]

22. Well, there is another possibility

This could be a case of getting tripped up by Poe's Law. Your extreme views about Christianity has caused me to lose the ability to tell if you are parodying a extreme viewpoint or really believe the stuff you post.

[skepticscott]

23. Even lamer, but keep trying

The other possibility is that you so intensely hate seeing atheists and anti-theists being right that you will say anything, no matter how silly or at odds with the facts, to try to make one of us look bad, even at the cost of looking foolish yourself. That works for me until something better comes along.

[LARED]

24. Nah, I'm going with Poe's law. It makes the most sense. nt

[LARED]

25. Also that post could win the ironic post of the week award. Good luck nt

[skepticscott]

15. Guess you can't

What a shock.

[2on2u]

9. The real miracle shoulda woulda coulda been for an angel to swoop down and put his

hand in front of this guy's hand and stop the amputation before it started.

11. This is the reverse of:

"She turned me into a newt!"
"A newt?"
".... I got better..."

13. Arrest this idiot for fraud.

14. You have to admit he's given some good advice, such as everybody fleeing California.

I agree with that part because the freeways are too busy. I just don't blame the earthquake danger on the internet.
