Stupid things religious people say

Did you know there is such a thing as The William Lane Craig Academic Center?

You know, dumb and useless and not much different than Trump University.
For example, to become a Bachelor Of Arts In Christian Apologetics you have to take a course on Historical Adam.

Does that mean learning to apologise for being a christian??

It says parents should search their children's rooms for, among other things, 'black or red robes'. I should think white would be more concerning.

CBN documentary!

New Documentary Explores Miracle Case of Man Who Died for 40 Minutes

Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles, hosted by CBN investigative journalist Billy Hallowell, examines miracle claims through the lens of science and the testimony of those who experienced them.

"Even though I'm a Christian, I'm always a little skeptical," Hallowell told Crosswalk Headlines.

But when it came to the claims he examines in the documentary, he said he was left with "no other explanation" than this: God was at work.

One such miracle involved a claim by cardiologist Chauncey Crandall that prayer had helped bring life to a patient who was declared dead. That patient, Jeff Markin, suffered a massive heart attack in 2006.

Crandall, the emergency room doctor that day, said Markin was dead for 40 minutes.

"They pronounce Jeff Markin dead, and Dr. Crandall leaves the room and starts going on his way. But as this doctor is leaving the room to walk away, he suddenly feels a prompting from God -- that's how he described it -- to go back and pray for Jeff Markin," Hallowell said. "He ignores that prompting. And then again, he feels God say to him, 'Go back and pray for that man.'"

Crandall returned to the room, prayed for Markin, and told the medical personnel to shock Markin's heart.

"They shock him. He immediately gets a perfect heart rate back. And not only that, [but] two days later, Jeff Markin wakes up. He [also] has a near-death experience," Hallowell said.

So the doctor revived a sick man with modern medicine and then credited God with healing him because he prayed.

And this is the case that CBN has been pushing for years now. The saddest thing is that they are exploiting Dr. Crandall who, let's say, cracked six years prior when he lost his son to leukemia and decided to believe in haven. I guess it's not much different than Arthur Conan Doyle.

Could god not have saved him without having the doctor pray?

Wow, who knew that the famed architect Antoni Gaudí also had superpowers?

Maria Gil Jimenez was very unwell. One day in 2003, she visited the Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona and said a prayer over the tomb of Antoni Gaudí, the modernist architect who designed it. She asked him to help find her a new kidney.

The next day, the hospital called. A kidney was available. “If this isn’t a miracle, I don’t know what is,” she testified in writing to an association which has been campaigning since 1992 to have Gaudí canonised.

A career in architecture may not seem an obvious path to godliness, besides all the building skywards. But the Association for the Beatification of Antoni Gaudí has changed this perception. On Monday, the Pope praised the visionary Catalan architect’s “heroic virtues” and elevated him to “venerable” status, the second step on the road to sainthood.

A range of saintly acts have already been attributed to Gaudí, who was born in 1852 and died aged 73 in 1926. Almost a century later, he has been credited with warding off cataracts, retrieving lost objects and finding jobs for the unemployed, according to the written testimony of Catholics supporting his sainthood.

Patricia Campi, from Italy, wrote to the association that she had been able to buy her dream home after it came on the market shortly after she prayed to Gaudí, “knowing he was an architect who might also help me redesign the property”.

A photograph of Gaudí accompanying a newspaper article about him moved Monica Appel from Chile to pray for his help in finding a job for her unemployed husband. Within days he was back at work.

Jorge Anselmo, from Argentina, said his mother was close to death by pulmonary disease when he decided to “put her in the hands of the architect”, praying for Gaudí to save her. The patient soon bounced back from the abyss.

Sandro Rondena, an Italian architect with cancer, had been given months to live. His wife and children prayed for Gaudí’s intercession in the Sagrada Familia’s crypt. Returning to Italy, Rondena’s advanced cancer was found to have gone into remission.
