Well, today after the service, a small group of us prayed over a man's leg (which was almost 2 inches shorter than the other) and God grew the shorter leg out to match the longer one!!!
GLORY TO THE LIVING GOD!!!!

Dude, if your prayer group could make my "middle leg" grow by two inches, I'll convert on the spot!
No "laying on of hands" allowed.
I knew a guy who used to claim that his "best friend back when he was four" was healed of having a short leg. I did some digging, and wouldn't you know it the whole "leg lengthening miracle" thing is a pretty common scam. In faith healing circles, everyone and their cousin knows someone who had one leg shorter than the other, but seriously, in real life this supposed plague of uneven legs is nowhere near as widespread as they'd have you believe.
If you'd have recorded and documented such a thing, you'd probably have the greatest conversion tool ever on your hands. What? You didn't bother? Shame.
For what it's worth, even I can do the trick to make it look like I'm lengthening or shortening my arms at will. If I prayed while doing it, it wouldn't make it any less of a trick.
OK, first of all, that wasn't a leg. It was his penis. Second of all, his name is Bob. Third, it wasn't God that grew his penis in a matter of seconds...
I just read a little of that thread and I nearly damaged my head and desk!
These people are stuck in the middle ages in a world ridden with demons! They would, if they could, still burn people at the stake to cleanse them.
Merciful Mother - if we were talking about Africa I'd understand, but the US has (ostensibly) been educated for the past 100 or so years. WTF is wrong? And I dread to think of this nonsense infesting the UK (as it's starting to be)
you know, i'm not trying to downplay the short legged guy's affliction, but you'd think with all the crap that's going down in the world, short legs would be way down on god's list of things to fix.
Video or it didn't happen. In fact, it didn't happen.
Now if you can provide some documented evidence of someone growing back an amputated limb, then we might have something to talk about. Why don't you ever see charlatans like Benny Hinn doing that?
Yeah. There are so many children with cancer, children that die from hunger and thirst, good people that die from horrible diseases and in terrible accidents and, look and behold, God fucks around with one guys short leg. So much for priorities.
Are you...
Wait for it.
pulling my leg???
HA HA HA!
Meanwhile, millions of people prayed the same day for some food for a change, millions more prayed for healing of conditions a hell of a lot more serious than a short leg, many more prayed not to be raped, victimized by female circumcision, beaten, etc.
And then everyone gave the pastor lots and lots of money, right?
Ten bucks say this happened at a Benny Hinn meeting.
Here's a fun game we can all try: go to your local fundie church and claim to have one leg shorter than the other. Put on the limp and everything. Ask them for their prayers and watch them all squeal with glee at the miracle when you walk out properly.
Then a week later, 'fess up to em...
But of course there's no supporting evidence, only your word about some nameless nam with a supposedly short leg who is now free from thatdefect. Pardon me if I don't believe you.
GLORY TO THE DEAD IDEA OF GOD!!!1!!1!!1
Right..Osama Bin Laden running loose. Millions of children starving or thirsty. People dying from all types of diseases and the constant threat of nuclear anihilation...
Some "living god" you worship.. sounds like a freeloading bum with an ego problem to me.
Yeah, and I learned how to fly, talk backwards and multiply six figure numbers in my head, but whatever you do, don't ask me to provide any evidence!

Then again I saw a Yoga Guru do the leg lengthening bit, he then went on to discuss how Yoga can improve your posture so that you don't have to deal with this bullshit.
BTW, cure my knees, and I'll convert on the spot.
What is wrong with a "short" leg? Could the man not walk? How did he get to church? Now, next time, how about praying over a BROKEN leg. One complete with X-rays. Heel that. Then I will be impressed. Too easy to scam a "short leg healing". But go to the emergency room and start healing broken legs, arms, etc. With real medical doctors are witnesses. Then I will believe you.
So he thought that that was important, whereas millions of innocent, good, christian people die from cancer, murder, heart attacks, and accidents. What made him choose this person and not those others when they were prayed for? Even better, if God knows everything, why didn't he help this person without having to be told?
"a small group of us prayed over a man's leg (which was almost 2 inches shorter than the other) and God grew the shorter leg out to match the longer one!!!"
Now try doing the same - only this time, with an amputated leg. Let's see if your 'faith' and 'prayer' can regenerate a new leg for him. Only this time...
With the world's media recording the event.
Lets for one moment assume it was real and not just a fake.
Then your god must truely be great. Despite not caring for the millions of people who starve to dead every year or die of incurable diseases your god still finds time to fix little harmless ailments for some believers, like different long legs
I think if I were an Xtian (Athe forbid!:)), these people who fall for these cheap parlour tricks which are a stock item in every charlatan's repertoire, they'd appear to me as even more contemptible than atheists. What kind of "faith" is that anyway?
EDIT: On second thought, I don't demand that Jews apologize for one another either, so... Hmmmmm
@neanderthal: Good point. Therefore, as a reasonable Christian (well, certainly more reasonable than these ones), I condemn the people who run these scams as the con artists they are, and the people who believe them as twits.
I just submitted this to their website. Wonder what answer I will get back. The part about asking my Grandmother is true. The look on her face that day was amazing. :-)
"I see in these articles information about casting out demons and deliverance from evil spirits.
Years ago when I was listening to a Christian radio program with my Grandmother they were talking about going into the house of someone addicted to porn. They talked about walking into the house rebuking satan and his minions. Only at the end did I hear about praising God. I asked my Grandmother a question that I will now ask you.
If all the attention is focused on casting out satan and demons, then who really is getting the focus? Satan loves to pull attention away from the Lord. Seems like he is succeeding don't you think? "
Wow, what a miracle!
Luk 18:8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"
Jer 32:27"Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?
Luk 18:8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"
Jer 32:27"Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?
Pictures, or it didn't happen.
I'd prefer a video, with a ticking clock in a corner of the screen, thank you.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
