Stupid things religious people say

So that's why churches smell like stale farts.

Older Christians ‘hold it in’ during church services as new poll exposes surprising toilet habits

On World Toilet Day a new poll by the Christian Charity Tearfund has exposed church goer’s toilet habits when in a service.

More than half of older Christians chose to “hold it in” during church services rather than leave for the loo, which has revealed a surprising generational divide in the pews.

Survey showed that 56 per cent of older Christians preferred to endure discomfort, while younger worshippers were far more likely to slip out mid-sermon, with 29 per cent saying they would happily miss part of the service.

We went to a church wedding not long ago and the missus and I slipped out for a tinkle at different times. We both got the stink eye on the way to and from the bog.

I don't know if any of you guys have ever been to a traditional Catholic wedding Mass, but they run about three hours long. By the second hour of sit-stand-kneel, you're not only bursting for a pee, but you're also looking at the guy on the Cross and thinking HE'S the lucky one.

So God is using doctors hands to heal sick people. One really wonders why God is wasting his time on the 3rd party and not going directly to the sick person. Or why send diseases or accidents in the first place.

I’m a doctor, and I believe in medical miracles

When they do occur, medical miracles may tend to be gradual, an accumulation of positive events or coincidences over time. They frequently involve great doctoring (doctors and other healers have the “hands of God”) and the most advanced technology possible. Above all, they are not predictable.

Praying doesn’t always deliver the desired result, but that doesn’t disqualify it as a tool for healing. Sometimes, it is the combination of prayer with great doctoring that leads to an unexpected, miraculous recovery.

Back in 2018, Rep. Steve Scalise was famously shot on a ball field. The miracle here, as I describe in my new book, “The Miracles Among Us,” involved the talented director of interventional radiologist at MedStar, Arshad Khan, working together with the head of trauma, Jack Sava, to embolize and then repair the arteries piece by piece as Scalise received more than 50 units of transfused blood. Scalise’s fortitude and daily prayers afterward helped provide the fuel for his recovery.

Similarly, when Shane Dennehy dove off the back of a boat and was then chewed up by the propeller blade when he swam back to the side, a miracle occurred: The propeller exposed both the sciatic nerve and the femoral artery but stopped just short of severing them both, which would have rendered the leg unusable. The orthopedist, David Wellman, and the chief of plastic surgery told me that they were simply adding to the original miracle, that the art of great surgery augmented it. They were the hands of God. They performed months of revisions, repairs, implants, and wound healing, overcoming infectious setbacks, until Shane was able to walk out of the hospital and eventually return to water sports.

I believe in the existence of “a miracle lane,” where a compilation of seeming coincidences and positive medical turns saves a life unexpectedly. How else do you explain my patient Dick, who has overcome four cancers, severe heart disease requiring bypass, an occult bleed, and a neuromuscular disorder, living into his mid-80s despite continuing to smoke with his sense of humor intact?

A doctor who believes in miracles is one who doesn’t shut the door on the seemingly impossible too soon, but continues to fight with all their tools and skills for the expected as well as the unexpected cure.

So he wrote a book. That explains it. You have to work your way to the Amazon best selling list.

But on a serious note, that last part is rather disturbing. I'm talking about a doctor not giving up on miracles till the end even in the impossible situations. Doctors shouldn't peddle lottery to patients. If someone has an incurable disease, it's better not to give him false hope, so that he can make peace with death and to say goodbye to the family.

Watch God as he is speaking directly through prophetess Kat Kerr: "No one will be able to impeach Trump. I have appointed him, anointed him. He is my president for America and will be so until I am finished with his assignment!"

Looks like Kat Kerr doesn't really know what an 'impeachment' is. Guy's been impeached twice already.
