boring rant on faith healers : (

Why are people so gullible?
They give large numbers of money and sell their objects like houses and endanger the lives of their loved ones and themselves to so-called psychics like Sylvia Browne who do nothing but use cold reading methods to be “psychic”.

“I see a door…”
“8, I see an 8…”
“Something to do with the colour red…”
“Bill…does that name makes sense to you? No? What about Amy?”

or they ask you,
“Did he have chest pains before he died?”
“Yes? I know.”

They’re merely guessing about in the dark about nonsense and then questioning and reaffirming what has been told and that is called Psychic? I’m more psychic than them then!
They would also often give numerous names like Billy, Bob, Candice, Candy, Clarissa, Danny, Donny etc.
There’s bound to be one right!!

And the Faith Healers. People like Peter Popoff and Benny Hinn.
They claim to be able to hear God telling them what illness has befouled their audience or whatever.
Fact is in Peter Popoff’s case he used a wireless earpiece connected to his wife(NOT god) who tells him the information viz “prayer cards” filled out by the audience previously. That’s all. There’s nothing to it.

As Marjoe has bravely stepped out and told the truth with a documentary he shot himself (behind his father’s back) that he was a fraud and his parents wanted to be rich ever since he was a kid and utilised his talents in mimicking (other faith healers) and him not being scared of crowds, and that to be a “faith healer” is easy.

(1) Put their hands in yours.
(2) Start screaming hysterically about Jesus saving you or what not
(3) Push them backwards forcefully

It actually just feeds on their faith and emotion to do this.
Agitating their emotions through forceful words and then giving them a shock by pushing them backwards.
Many of the so-called “Healed” are in truth not even healed at all!
Some of them may feel better because

(1) Their illness was psychological, it did not exist
(2) Belief is a powerful thing. It may just be that they just recovered because of the placebo effect.
(3) They have actually been to a doctor previously, LATER they went to Faith Healers, but the medicine from the doctors already cured them.

And the supposed healers who can pick out the bad parts from your body and perform surgery without cutting open bodies, with the videos showing them digging bare hands into the patient’s belly (even if the tumour is say…in the brain) with blood spurting everywhere and then they go TA-DA!
*takes out piece of rotting thing*

Even I can do that.
They simply sneak blood packs(or even just betel nut juice if my brain doesn’t fail me) and maybe some animal bits into their hands and simply open them causing a bloody effect. Tests on the blood have been proven to be pig’s blood. But now this people are “OH IT’S A MIRACLE THE HUMAN BLOOD TURNED INTO PIG’S BLOOD!” >__>

But isn’t faith in something a good thing?
some people claim that even though these faith healers did nothing they had the patients feel better psychologically.
THIS IS UNTRUE.
Sylvia Browne has led the parents of missing children to all sorts of wrong spots, wasting time for the police, parents and the endangered child. That’s not helping them.
And about faith healing, many of the patients deny actual medical treatment because the healers told them not to and God will heal them. They die in the process, at many times which should be saved.

In conclusion, don’t be so gullible and believe what people tell you about healing you.
