There is nothing really like faith healing. . .It just doesn't work and is all make belief. . . .Here are some case scenarios that explains how faith healing or miracles work. . .

CASE 1:

The person prays and uses medicine side by side. Medicine heals him. So he says god healed him. The poor doctor with years of study and recommendation get no credit at all, all the credit goes to god.

CASE 2:

The person prays and the disease goes away by itself. The person then says it was god. . .Our bodies will heal some diseases with our immune system if given enough rest, food and time. God still gets the credit. . .

CASE 3:

The person's disease was psychological. By using prayer he shifts how his mind sees the world and thus the mental condition is gone. He praises god.

CASE 4:

Hypnotherapy has being proven by science that it can alleviate pain: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22917107
Prayer works in similar way. No supernatural phenomena though. Just the mind working.

CASE 5:

The preacher creates illusion of miracles by hiring actors.

CASE 6:

The person pretends to have a disease just to enjoy the status of going to the altar to praise God. . . .Being special to god is a nice ego boost.

Nothing like faith healing. . .If it works christians will not be going to hospitals. . .

Best statement yet. And the ones who go by faith alone pay the price with their lives only to be castigated by other Xtians as lacking faith. Just like all those HIV patients who went off antiretrovirals following faith and dodgy pastors only to die. Then some ppl castigated them that if they had true faith they would have been healed.

Nope, my family members despite being very religious all run to Europe(Germany) when they fall very sick because they are lucky they can afford the best medical care man can offer. . . .If the illness is not so serious, they stay back in Nigeria but they always chose the hospital first. They will never go to any prayer house despite all their shouts of Jesus this , Jesus that,but I know some people that went to prayer houses because they could not afford to pay huge hospital bills and ended up dead. . .Actually all the people that I know who had very serious illness and chose prayer houses instead of hospital all died . . .They are not so many but a handful . . .

berylLOL: eeyah, you guys are all losers, you can't answer a simple question cos you've run out of your crappy explainations, I said what is your take on miracles not MY miracle..you can't give a straight answer cos you have no answers that's why you looking for other ways to prove how brainless you all are *spits*..see how they easily resorted to insults cos they got stuck,uncivilised cowards..smh, stay here o, be waiting for all d Miracles the good Lord has done in my life..just keep watching yea, I wouldn't have to tell you, you'll see them yourselves..miserable things.

Criss Angel has walked on water. passed through glass. disappeared into thin air. defied gravity by walking on the walls of sky scrapers. levitated. His explanation is that this world we live in is an illusion and if you access some parts of your subconscious mind, you can bend this illusion to your will. You can apply that explanation to miracles too. Happy?

That is the way it works. For someone to be ill and refuse to go to hospital is suicide. Anyone who encourages them not to go should be charged with murder.
Re: A Random Question For The Atheists by OlaAjia(m): 9:52am On Dec 28, 2012
berylLOL: err, I just need you guys to clear something up, what's you take on miracles?? I mean, miracles happen everyday in churches after calling on God, infact I'm a living testimony..so how do you explain miracles, like is there some theory behind it we all need to know?

By implying the existence of miracles in this initial post, the OP violates a fundamental principle of logical arguments which asserts that the burden of proof rests on the 'affirmative' party. This query, as a result, amounts to a logical fallacy and addressing it is an exercise in futility; tantamount to expecting to OP to prove that there are no teacups on a saucer orbiting planet Jupiter, which can only be seen by me and my cult of followers.

Its funny how when you say that you'll google him you meant you'll google what's wrong with Him. These people performing miracles are all doing the same thing but then some people have to create the we against them mentality. Anyway you asked for an explanation and that was it. All the conspiracy theorists know whats good for them

If the bolded above refers to sane subjects, then I disagree with it as much as I would disagree with an individual being charged for murder for encouraging a sane person to jump inside fire.

Really. Then we will have a lot of ppl being 'encouraged' to avoid hospitals and proper treatment at risk of their life. Ppl have to be made accountable for thier actions.

Also, even sane ppl have periods where they are confused and weak and can be exploited. An ill person will clearly be less emotionally and psychologically balanced than when they are well (due to despair).

there's a great diff between Miracles n Magic yo..and Criss is obviously a Magician, he hasnt even used his so called powers for any humanitarian deed.
