Book of Acts: Pure Fantasy

[yoshiisadinosaur]

Continuing the "Historical Documents! No, Really!" series, we now come to the Book of Acts.

One more time, it bears repeating, these were the acts of MERE MORTALS

OK, so the Christian has two choices:

1. Believe that such magic is possible for mortals and that angels do get personally involved in real life, in which case you are so loony that there's no point in having a rational conversation with you.

2. Admit that the Book of Acts is kind of fanciful and shouldn't be regarded as a historical document.

And before anyone whines about my "prejudice against the supernatural", all I'm doing is operating by the same rules we all do in every day life. ECREE. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Since you don't lend the same credence to the supernatural claims of other religions, you should understand why I don't let such credence to yours.

Hey guys! I just want to thank you first of all for being so respectful...I have run into a lot of "fire and brimstone preachers" from the atheist side of things and it's really nice to find some people that you disagree with, but respect. So thank you.

There's a quote by someone that goes like this, "seeing is believing." This makes sense. Why would anyone believe something so stupid as an idea that "praying" for someone will "heal" them. I mean, there must be some kind of scientific explanation for it right? Maybe some placebo effect thrown in there. Ya know, "Ohhh, I had a headache but now it's gone thank you so much for praying for me, GOD IS SO GOOD!"

Okay so I have seen crazy things that science doesn't seem to explain. Heck, I can't explain it either. All I know is that I have seen deaf people hear as a result of praying. I have seen blind people receive healing as a result of praying. I have seen a man who was a paraplegic for just over a year receive full healing and run in circles around the room. And this stuff can't be explained by the placebo effect either. In my life, there have been too many unexplainable things happen to not believe in "magic."

Maybe science will explain why these things can happen with enough faith. Sounds hokey I know but seeing is believing right?

Love ya guys!
