There are some tricksters in religions like Hindu which can do some things that would knock off his socks... and we Christians understand that demons can indeed do things that will try to convince people that they are indeed some kind of holy man or what ever.
My aunt and uncle were in India after the 2nd WW and saw real men walk on red hot coals. The feet did not feel pain, and the guy did not die.
That is not a slight of some sort. It is, as we would believe a work by demons who have that kind of power... to awe and trick people into those kinds of things.

Nope, sorry, the walking on coals thing is just a simple trick. Nothing more, nothing less and no demons involved.
However, if you wish to believe in demons, go right ahead.
I would expect no less from a fundy fucktard such as yourself.

Sai Baba isn't really a God man. He, and others like him, are no more impressive than Benny Hinn. Somehow though I think you'd believe Benny Hinn and his ilk are the real deal.
"and we Christians understand that demons can indeed do things that will try to convince people that they are indeed some kind of holy man or what ever."
So, standing in front of a camera in a mega church and soliciting little old ladies to send you their pension check makes you a real holy man because you're Christian yet a Hindu holy man is a demon. Right.

You twit. It's simple physics with a bit of physiology thrown in. Skin is largely composed of water; water doesn't conduct heat well; blood flow through the feet carries what little heat there is away from the sole of the foot; the feet stay only seconds (at most) on the coals before being lifted which cools them further. The coals generally have a layer of ash also which is a really poor conductor of heat and the coals tend to be raked repeatedly throughout the preparation part, making an uneven layer, which means even less surface area of the foot is actually in direct contact with the coals. That's the basics.
In other words, you're a moron.
disclaimer: I know demons aren't real.
I've said this before, and it bears repeating: if I had the power of a demon, I wouldn't squander it on cheap parlor tricks.
In the village where my mother used to stay for Easter Holidays(Manrique, Spain), there was a tradition, in St John's night, that men did the same carrying either their girlfriends or children on their backs..............it's a Christian tradition, are they demon possesed too?
Goddamnit leave us goddamn Hindus alone! We got enough problems without Christian buttinskies, didn't y'all have enough after 200+ years of british occupation?
Why do we always get dragged into these stupid discussions?
If we were still in the Dark Ages, it would be understandable that people would attribute such things as fire walking to demons. But, hello, it's the 21st century and it's clear that these idjits have Internet access. So why don't they use it to Google up some information on things that have them perplexed?
@Anaamika
Most likely (pure speculation here) because you are the last clearly visible vestiges of the people that worship "pagan" or "demonic" gods, as opposed to carbon copies of their own God. Or simply because you're their. That's possible, too.
Victory67: I raised El'azar (Lazarus, to you) from the dead. Are you saying I used demons to do it? Wait'll I get your sorry ass at the Rapture. It's the Lake o' Fire® for you, dude - and don't forget, I know your real name and it ain't "Victory", loser!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
