I believe in the right of the religious to practice faith healing. I support that 100%. I believe in the miracles of the Bible. They served a validation purpose for the greatest act of sacrifice of all time.
On a lighter note...I have heard serveral faith healing stories, both in person and on the radio. 99% had to do with one leg being longer than the other. Now, if you stand up you can easily shift your weight in a way to feel that one leg is longer than the other. I just don't see a lot of lopsided people walking around in need of healing. I did hear a story on TV that was somewhat convincing but, with the multitude of phony ones I just thought these very dear people were highly deceived. No great harm done though.
This is not unlike the mass stories I hear from the gay agenda crowd who claim "I just was at the point of suicide..." Well, I think suicide is a horrible tragedy. I don't, however, hear tons of stories about gays who actually committed suicide. I am sure there are some but lets have some stats. How many "thought about it" heteros versus "thought about it" gays? I think the gays would clearly have a lower follow through rate. What's that about? Perhaps it's a handy little political argument? And dare anyone say that don't they look uncompassionate? Clever.
