If you see no difference between thousands of people of faith unified in a common prayer to save a woman's life and one man who tries to crash an airplane with his imagination, and believes that God personally warned him his mental powers are so mighty they can defy gravity, I'd never be able to explain it to you.
I'm sure many people have called us all whackjobs merely because we believe in God. I doubt any of us have threatened to sue someone for damaging our reputations because of it.
---------------------------------------------------------------How different is that, really, from all those people who think that after the feeding tube was reinserted and Terri Schiavo got better it was because they had prayed?
Actually, quite different. Praying for a life to be saved and crediting prayer when that life is saved is well within the scope of normal human behaviour. Seriously claiming that God spoke to you audibly to warn that you have supernatural power to crash a planeload of innocent people by exerting paranormal mind control over the laws of aerodynamics is outside the bounds of normal human behaviour, and would probably be seen by mental health professionals as an indication of a mental idiopathy.
Terri Schiavo would certainly have died if the tube had not been replaced. People prayed and the tube was replaced. Her physical state improved after the tube was replaced, and that was of course a direct and natural result of her receiving nourishment and fluid no matter the cause of the tube being replaced.
On one hand, Christians who prayed for that to happen believe God influenced the FL legislature to order the tube replaced. OTOH, Mr. Felos claims to believe God spoke to him and made him aware he possessed supernatural power to crash a planeload of innocent people. IMO, the people who believe their prayers saved Mrs. Schiavo's life are rational people who made a normal, common response to an impending tragedy. Again IMO, Mr. Felos is either a bold-faced liar who heard no such thing as he claims, or else a delusional mental case who bears close scrutiny by the authorities lest he do harm to himself or others.
