Christian motives to lie.

Christian motives to lie.
There is a recent news event about a christian bus driver who decided to fake a miracle in which his bible stops two bullets from entering his heart.

As it turns out it was a carefully orchestrated ruse to con people into thinking god intervened when actually he did nothing of the sort. This guy didn't come clean because jesus told him not to lie, it came out due to the scientific investigations of the police detectives.

Here's the link.

Original story before the hoax was discovered:

So often christians on this site claim that the witnesses to jesus and his miracles wouldn't lie because they wouldn't have a motive, but I say they had the same motive as this guy.
Find the cure for Fundementia!

So, filing a false report isn't a crime in Ohio?

Crimes for Jesus aren't really crimes here.

Hard to see where jesus enters into this at all.

Obviously he was just trying to spread the good word. Is there really any harm in that?

Oh, I've encountered some real liars for Jesus in RL and online.

Two I remember in particular:

One claimed that he saw a missionary in Africa hold up a bible when someone tried to shoot him and the bullets magically . . . I mean "miraculously" changed direction and missed.

Another claimed that he was at a faith healers and witnessed someone's leg grow longer - not grow back, but grow longer to match the other leg.

The thing is, there are people who fall for these obviously bullshit stories.

There are people who think a dead jew came back to life to atone for their sins.

What can I tell you. There's an asshole born every minute and they all find their way to 'god.'
