Funny though, how you only accept miracle claims, as being true, when they stem from your religion. Yet, you don't when they stem from other religions.

Smacks of intellectual dishonesty, when the evidence you accept for Catholic miracle claims, is of the same type of evidence for miracle claims from other religions, that you do not accept.

for example, here are websites with stories of Jinn (Muslim spirit beings) possession. They are based on 'true stories'. There are many more 'true stories' of Jinn possession. Do you believe them?

Don't forgot alien abductions, psi, Sasquatch, alien astronauts, etc., etc.

That's because they took turns having sex with him.

They're the only ones I am familiar with and learned about in school, etc. But I wouldnt be opposed to the notion of God performing miracles for people of other faiths as well.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

The author of this book wouldn't be Thomas B. Allen would it?

Quote:Allen tracked down the sole survivor of the team that performed the exorcism, Father Walter Halloran as well as a copy of the diary kept by the team leader, Father William S Bowden. The primary source of the documentation is the diary authored by Father Raymond J.

Quote:Since publication of the book, Allen has been a frequent guest on talk shows, entertainment shows and history shows that discuss exorcism in general, demonic possession and the case his book details.


Quote:Allen's Possessed has been criticized by Mark Opsasnik, who wrote that it contained questionable or inaccurate material, such as misidentifying the location as Mount Rainier, Maryland rather than Cottage City Maryland.

But they claim that THEIR god performed the miracles.

Would you be open to that possibility? If so, what sort of evidence would you accept in order to believe their god performed the miracles?

And here I am, completely outside ALL religious beliefs, trying to figure out a way for Christians to differentiate their god's miracles, from those of Muslims, Hindus, etc, etc. And all I am given is the same sorts of evidence from all religions for the miracle claims. Bad anecdotal evidence.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Oh, you mean the author of possessed. Yes, it's that Thomas guy. He has some pictures of the diary in the book too, if I remember correctly.

I recommend the book to anyone who likes scary stories. Even if you don't believe any of it, it's still a really good read.
