The things that we do for God...

Crazy stories from crazy land.

I guess sometimes the god-sized hole is in your tooth.

Dental healer finds share of faithful believers
Earlier, Jones had laid his hand on the man's jaw and prayed for his teeth.

"You can see gold coming in it," Jones exclaimed to the crowd inside the revival tent. "They weren't that color when I first came in."

Wow...
The 50-year-old West Virginia evangelist, who describes himself as "an interdenominational Christian," will pray for the sick and lame, but it's cracked molars, crooked teeth, toothaches and amalgam fillings that he believes are his calling.

So, not only does God people the power to heal, he allows them medical specialties. Nice.
Sarasota resident Leann Schlabach came to the revival hoping Jones would
heal her cracked tooth.

"It feels better; it was very sensitive," she said afterward.

Sturiano, the Parrish resident, was sure something had taken place in his
mouth.

"I came expecting it to happen," he said. "When he prayed for me, I felt
the right side of my face go numb."

...

Healing doesn't always happen there and then," he said. "It could happen
when they're in McDonald's the next day."

No signs of visiting a dentist to show the results.

And the healing happens...whenever. Again, without any support or proof. It is all so convenient.


No, no! I said microwave the burrito, and change the baby.

A woman blames the devil, and not her husband, for severely burning their infant daughter in a microwave...

Do I even have to go on...Yeah.
Eva Marie Mauldin said Satan compelled her 19-year-old husband, Joshua Royce Mauldin, to microwave their daughter May 10 because the devil disapproved of Joshua's efforts to become a preacher.

"Satan saw my husband as a threat," Eva Mauldin told Houston television station KHOU-TV.

...

Police said Joshua Mauldin told them he put Ana Marie in the microwave because he was under stress. Eva Maudlin denied it.

Her husband didn't snap, the devil did it. He wasn't at fault, Lucifer was at work...All is better now.

YEESCH!

  1. Now relate this kind of, um, aberration to the dumbing-down of entry requirements to the military. Then check out the stats of what happens to people after battlefield trauma ( they become violent assholes - fancy that ) and a return - maybe - to their families after deployment. Domestic violence will go through the roof.
