A Question of Miracles - Faith Healing 1/6

[EnigmaHood]

Brainwashed idiots. God doesn't exist.

[pete975]

That is appalling.

in every forum available rationality must be defended and this woowoo garbage exposed for the wilfully ignorant mess that it is.

[shubidubar]

what about amputees? or blind people?

Why are all the things that are "cured" always things like blindness, "inability to walk". Why are people with horrible untreatable burns never cured of their life long pain, and infections?

[altahardporn]

what a filthy pig

who's desperate for money

and what a stupid audience

who's desperate for salvation.

[phatjesus008]

the face of fascism...

[wanderingjew2008]

Fascism? More like stupidity. But then again fascism is an ill-defined word bandied about by people who seem to think they know what it means, so I have no idea what you think you meant by that.

[daymyth]

Desperation

[wanderingjew2008]

?????

[daymyth]

The face of Desperation. These people are desperate, they have nothing more to hope for. For some people this is more than entertainment or a high. They really desire a miracle because that's all they have left.

[wanderingjew2008]

Yes. Absolutely. And that is much closer to the truth than "fascism". These people don't want to hurt anybody- that's not why they're there- well! Correction. The televangelist in all likelihood wants to hurt people- well! Correction again. He doesn't have some sadistic desire to hurt them- his goal is to defraud them of their money- and he wants power, too. But no one in that arena is really focused on eradicating a people group or taking over the world necessarily... though .1% of them might.

[jamesrobertdobbs]

No healings for the obese or amputees!!

Benny Hinn the worst kind of atheist, but an outstanding hypnotist. He really hates Christians, to con money out of families of cancer victims just because they are Christians is going to far! As disgusting as Christianity is, to con these poor double victims of disease and religion is inexcusable, haven't they suffered and been conned enough? Shame on Benny Hinn, bad atheist!!!

Damn good at hypnosis though, I must admit!

[daymyth]

It may be immoral but I would not call it bad.

[yko487]

yeah hinn is a terrible atheist.

after all, no true scotsman-- i mean christian - would ever do something like that.

[gothdude311]

all the endorphins come in they walk but in a few hours they are fucked again

[yko487]

I'm so goddamn embarrassed that i used to be a christian... really wasn't my fault though, my parents pushed me into it from birth. i still rather hate myself though.

[Wolfman12395]

My friend and I are exactly like you. We were both forced into Christianity. My friend doesn't consider himself a christian at all, I do consider myself one but in no way am I devoted to Christianity like some people are. Religion ONLY causes problems.

[zeekzippit]

All things apparently are not possible! Why won't God heal amputees?

[zeekzippit]

These people are money grubbing con men of the worst kind! Why won't God heal amputees?

[ChasingSatanAway]

1:01 LoL!

[natasja186]

It's downright appauling to see how this man (and others like him) exploit the weak, the sick and the desperate. Televangelists like this should be proscecuted by the state for every penny they got!.

Guys like this have a really sick mind! If it were up to me I'd burn them on the stake and I'm a nonviolent person, but this ?!!

This makes me sick!

[frostinad]

this man is so revolting

[darkuser999]

watch?v=5lvU-DislkI => one of the saddest yet funniest videos on youtube...

[arsenelupin123]

OH MY FUCKING GOD! All these people handle a check to this motherfucker at the same time???? So that they will be spared from disaster???

I never thought that it was that easy to be a con artist.

[Baldmother]

Makes me so down to see all these people who dont have anything but their faith they never really get to live and experience pain properly which is necessary for human health its such a natural part of life but they spend their days in denial awaiting "god" to heal them... Lead by these evil money hungry egomaniacs. "Christianity is the devils masterpiece"

[cappend69]

lol funni shit

[Warthog1976]

What "tact" by Hin....."just sign the cheque..." no wonder fuckers like this live in mansions and drive fancy cars....thanks to muppets like that in the crowd. brainwashed to the max, probably believe in the tooth fairy as well.

[UltimateLBP]

Skip Religulous and just watch this.

[TomMSTie]

I wonder how much Benny's Gold Rolex cost.

(The answer is: His credibility!)

[unquenchablefire]

Great terrible things will happen right after Y2K. A swing and a miss.

[lukusss3]

Wrong! Peter popoff came back!

[mj358]

It's unbelievable how many idiots there are in that crowd!!! Fuckin' bunch of gullible retards!!!

[botelle82]

no comment... guilibles

[keeeir]

I can't even understand how this is even still an issue.

give me anything of any complexity that has just one answer?. Maybe if people stopped putting faith in a made up man in the sky and maybe put the same love and devotion in to helping others then we might just create a nice place to live instead of tearing each other apart all the bloody time.

[ColAbernathy]

All your points use a collection of edited and redacted stories as 'proof' that this is what god wants. Funny how he can never speak for himself, only thru self-appointed mouthpieces. I freely reject your assumption that the Bible is anything more than a work of human literature.

[sonjetruth]

How do you know you have the Holy Ghost? And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance Act 2:4. THIS is the evidence God exists, when you speak in a brand new language God gives you, not of this earth, not learnt, but a gift from God. Read Acts chap 2 it will blow your mind! But we have a free will, and its up to us if we chose to follow him or not. Its an amazing life of freedom if you do chose to follow Jesus Christ!

[Wolfman12395]

I guess you take the bible literally. Do you really think we all came from Adam and Eve and that Darwin's theory of evolution isn't real? The bible is no more than a fictional book written to inspire people. People who take the bible seriously only cause problems. Like I just said, religion is bullshit and only causes problems in this world. Just look at The Westboro Baptist Church, they all claim to be "Born Again Christians". It's fucking sick and I think Christianity is bullshit.

[sonjetruth]

But at the end of the day the Lord will deal with him, we just need to make sure our own salvation is sure. Phil 2:12 says work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. How do we know our salvation is sure? By doing what God commands of us. For starters, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38).

[sonjetruth]

If Jesus was on that stage he would be telling people the truth, not giving false hope, and emotionally driven/truth empty speeches. Matt 7:20 speaks about knowing people by their fruits. I know Benny Hinn is under investigation from the IRS, he seems to also be involved in many non Christian activities, to put it nicely. Sadly many people follow blindly instead of putting their trust in the Lord, they put confidence in man (Ps 118:8 warns of this).

[sonjetruth]

What is Gods will? Well Benny Hinn claims in this video he is doing Gods work. If thats the case, then what does he believe God wants people to know? Benny says only people who give will be spared the wrath, people who gives to his ministry. Well despite what Benny says, no man can promise salvation, only Jesus Christ can do that, and Jesus Christ says Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (John 3:5).

[sonjetruth]

When I hear and see people who claim to be doing Gods work, and take money from many people who cannot afford it, to use for their own greed, it makes me ill. Keep in mind that just because someone has an image of godliness does not mean its of God (2 Tim 3:5). The bible talks about the last days for false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect Mark 13:22.

[sonjetruth]

I hate man-made religion, I think it is one of the biggest deceivers in todays age. God hates it too. Have a look from Matthew through to Acts how many times Jesus refers to the Pharisees and Sadducees (the religious people of that day). Specific scripture that comes to mind, Matt 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

[ColAbernathy]

In addition, your arguments from ignorance and false causation have been noted. The universe IS mysterious. If there's no evidence that definitively points to a creator, there's no reason to posit one. Occam's Razor. By your own admission, god cannot be tested as real. Therefore, I can reject your claim that he is anything more than a creation of human minds out of fear of our own impending demise.

[ColAbernathy]

I don't understand. If the universe requires a creator, why isn't there evidence to support it? If faith is the only requirement for existance, then there MUST be a dragon in my garage because I have faith he exists.

[ColAbernathy]

Assumption: the universe has a conscious mind to decide something. As far as we understand consciousness, it requires some form of operating hardware. Please explain how god can have a consciousness without the required hardware.

[ColAbernathy]

That's a cop-out, Cola. If god lies outside the boundaries and laws that appear to govern the universe, then how can he have any influence on it without leaving ANY observable trace? If god always was, why not the universe? If the universe had a beginning, why not god? What's the definitive difference between the two?

[ColAbernathy]

Magnus is right, Cola. Any claim to the beginning of something always begs the question: Where did said thing come from? If there is no definable difference between the universe and god, why invoke god at all? Aside from an emotional need to connect with a benevolent entity greater than oneself. By that reasoning, Zeus MUST exist because there IS lightning and thunder. Boy, is HE gonna be pissed at you for not believing!

[TheColaGoodfellow]

Is God a part of the universe? Is he testable? provable? Visible, hearable or touchable by any other power than his own will?

No, then why should he need a beginning then, like the universe does?

[TheColaGoodfellow]

We can't prove God that God is real, but we have good reason to think that the universe needs a creator.

[Jinxy11]

My gran gave all her will to billy hinn, for that plane he wanted. We gave our life savings to go to Africa to see him bring back jesus. TBN is still on my house, we are still waiting for gran to come back....

[TheColaGoodfellow]

He was raised in europe? I live in the UK, where most people i know are atheists.

I know my dad much better than you do, and I know he doesn't lie.

He believes in God which, overall, means that the likelihood of him lying is about 0%.

Santa is a human, I have evidence that humans cannot create planets because i tried it myself :o just now!

PS. Lets keep in mind that i only found out that he did these things once i asked him, he hasn't gone around telling everybody.

[12Zwolf]

Thank For Posting;

Perhaps faith-healers should put their hands on their head to heal their balding scalp;

Faith-healers should be prosecuted under the R.I.C.O. statutes as this is a conspiracy of lies, and thievery including all the socially acceptable religions, therefore a conspiracy, and

faith-healers should be prosecuted for medical malpractice,

plus

faith healers should be prosecuted for provoking false advertizing claims.

Cheers!

[C0mm0nS3ns3]

There is a location where Mary was sighted and in 50 years they have had over 8 million people have visited. In that time 2 miracles have happened out of that many people so that means absolutly NOTHING.

[tuxolai]

Sickening. These leeches disgust me. The crowd's delusions makes me sad. How can any human rejoice at the prediction that their god will bring disaster on everone but them. Religion is and always has been a general tragedy to mankind

[TheColaGoodfellow]

Why do I feel like the video description seems to lump all faith healers into the same crowd?

Not ALL Faith Healers are fakes who are there for the money.

My own Dad healed people and prophesied in Gods name, and he got no money for it, nor did he ask for any.

[C0mm0nS3ns3]

Miracles do not exist they do not exist and this bunch of bullshit has been used for centuries.

[TheColaGoodfellow]

I'd trust you if you knew everything, which you don't, therefore you can't really say what can and can't happen.

The universe is mysterious, there is no law of physics saying that laws cannot be broken.

[TheColaGoodfellow]

The simple fact I got thumbs down for mentioning the truth about not judging people shows the stubbornness and arrogence of a lot of people.

[GegoXaren]

I feel that they need to see the light, be it from Satan [not the devil but the inner one], or science, but they need to see the light.

they need to see that there is no god, there is no supreme power how can save them... they can only have faith in others and science.

[TheColaGoodfellow]

How do you know this?

You have no divine knowledge, you aren't the creator of the universe, you don't know everything.

Saying there is no God is like saying that emotions are not real, there is just as much evidence for both.

[MagnusIan]

I say leprechauns are real. YOU can't prove leprechauns DON'T exist, can you?

[TheColaGoodfellow]

Whether Leprachauns exist or not is irrelevant to the point.

God must exist for the universe to exist.

This is because according to what we see everyday, everything that is a part of the universe:

1. Begins to change / Has a beginning.

2. Only changes as a result of something else.

Therefore, something which is not of this universe must have been there to give the universe a beginning.

The only rational explanation, based on evidence and common sense, is God.

[MagnusIan]

Soooooooooooo where the fuck did god come from then, hm?

[coylh]

"everything that is a part of the universe:

1. Begins to change / Has a beginning."

Please demonstrate this.

[TheColaGoodfellow]

Fire is the result of very hot gas, without heat it would never have become fire.

Water is the result of combining Hydrogen and Oxygen, without them it is not water.

The planets circulate the sun as a result of gravity, without Gravity they would not.

Just to name a few simple ones.

Demonstrate a time when the universe stopped following the laws of physics and made it's own decision.

Then you can tell me that the universe made itself.

[Jinxy11]

I cant prove fairies, unicorns and th emonster under my bed dont exist either.

Atleast we have god in the right context though. Amongst the fairies the leprechauns and the unicorns...

[FatherTime89]

dude there's a typo in the video description.

It should say their divine touch not there.

Normally I wouldn't pick out typos like that but I believe something like this should look more proffesional so that it has an increased chance of showing people the nature of faith healers.

[illusionist1977]

what a low life benny hinn is

[2007regis]

I feel for those lost souls who follow these frauds, but I feel most for those who throw away their rationality to adopt these stupid beliefs. The one thing that we evolved to propel us forward and it's the first thing that many people toss aside. It's like a lionness divesting herself of her cunning, claws, teeth, and muscles, and expecting to survive. Just bloody stupid.

[SayYesToReason]

I have nothing but the deepest sympathy for these people and their desperate plights. It is exactly that which makes the crimes perpetrated upon them by faith healers all the more evil!

[UltraTexan]

I almost spit my lunch out on the monitor from laughing so hard.

[goodsz24]

Mathew Chapter 8-22:"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?" 23: "And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Shame no one reads anymore.

[FinnHawk]

What can be done when there are still more gullible people in the world than rational critical thinkers? They need to teach critical thinking and skepticism in school.

[SayYesToReason]

Yes they do. You hear about classes in debate and logic in larger high schools, private schools, and in colleges, but that fails to reach millions of people. I doubt the demons of ignorance and superstition will ever be cast out of our society (pun intended).

[Doazic]

This video made me sad. :(

[qwer4o]

Hey! Where the fuck is RANDI?????

[magicmike323]

this is just making me depressed

[BorgHub]

what a piece of shit, taking money from crippled people by giving them false hope

[FinnHawk]

I don't really feel that sorry for many of them tho. They need to learn to think for themselves... learn some skepticism and critical thinking.

[EGarrett01]

This video is suffering from a shortage of the Bearded One.

[kev3d]

What an amazing (yet deplorable) scam. Heartbreaking really. Imagine if all that cash went towards cancer research and treatment for poor folks all over the world.

[Drewdood]

"Tragedies will hit the Earth and only those who have been giving to God's work will be spared. Lets pass the collection plate."

You piece of shit.

[BlackWaltz5]

I could not have said it better myself.

That man is a waste of Carbon!

[lovelyirene2001]

He should've been named Benny Hill instead of Benny Hin. The man is just laughable.

[EGarrett01]

Have you seen the video where someone cut Drowning Pool's "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" into his footage? It's great.

BTW, these videos are just not the same without Randi showing up to pwn everyone.

[lovelyirene2001]

"Drowning Pool"? Are you referring to the Paul Newman movie?

[EGarrett01]

No, the metal band. If you search for Benny Hinn and Bodies it should pop right up.

[lovelyirene2001]

OK. Will do. :)

[contessaxd]

Spot on. faith healers be jailed and the key thrown away.

[ctastrophe]

I heard a squirrel died on Benny Hinn's head and he just kinda left it there...

[qwertyuiop726]

That WOULD explain a lot...

[harryogre]

That is an out right lie!

It was a skunk.

8~)

[5spoonfest5]

feel*

[5spoonfest5]

I fell sorry for the Indian immigrants

[FinnHawk]

I don't. They need to learn to think for themselves.

[boylovesbowie]

if he went back to the bible he'd notice Jesus healed for free and asked dearly not to spread the word :/ oh but that requires incredible skills like basic reading with understanding ...

[JBSauce]

Right. Why does Jesus need money? Or is it Hin that needs the money? "You received free, give free."

[Bigturns33]

THe bible i believe speaks about this... Simon Magus who asked to pay for the holy spirit give peter had.

[Nigrescence]

Ah, I was waiting for the first part to be uploaded to watch this. Thank you!
