Mark 16:17-18 - The Words of Jesus?
#22
RE: Mark 16:17-18 - The Words of Jesus?
There was a documentary on the BBC several years ago, sorry I don't recall the title, but they were following a bloke who professed to be a faith healer. He did the usual crapola; crystals, healing hands, special magic herbs. The lot.

He was 'treating' one woman with aggressive cancer; at one point, as I recall, she saw her doctor who urged her to get hospital treatment immediately. She refused, mainly because of the side-effects and the lack of a guarantee of success, and went back to the fake healer.

The next time this quack paid her a visit, he knocked on her door and was told by a relative that she'd died that morning.

Did this so-called healer accept any responsibility for her death? Did he even show any guilt?

You only need one guess.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
