Atheists: What Are Your Views On Miracles? by mesoade(m): 9:48am On Nov 30, 2014
As a christian i'd witnessed deliverances and miracles, even a miracle of a man medically declared lame, but after prayers began to walk. So it makes a lot of sense that there is someone supernatural behind it. So I want to know this, what do you think about miracles?

*clears throat*..

As a professional seasoned veteran atheist, I must say when I see posts like this, I laugh hard till tears fall off my eyes. I laugh at you for posting this, and expecting an answer from me. I laugh so so hard.

I laugh because I have no idea how to answer this question. I mean, I may talk about 'luck' and 'timing' and 'science' but you already know those are excuses, so I just laugh to cover up my confusion, and hopefully, make you give up without getting an answer.

Well I'm no atheist. And I have no damn idea what goes on in that skull of theirs..if they exist

why amputate your limbs in the first place,when you can easily pray about it to get healed. . . There's nothing impossible for God but the situation you cited above is outrageous . . It's just like a son praying to be older than his father . . Is that possible?

Parlor tricks. Why don't you ask those pastors to go and treat patients with confirmed ebola? How about asking them to empty out the homes for disabled children with their miracles? Ask them to cure those deaf children. Ask them to heal amputees.
Then we'll talk.

The ones we see performed by pastors in churches and on TV are tricks. So many of them have been exposed but people still keep believing in them.

Here is a little clip of how one of the greatest pastors and healers in the USA was exposed as a fraud by James Randi back then.

All pastors that perform miracles operate this way. people just believing without knowing that they are deceived and duped. It's all magic and acting.

if they are possible why do we still have disabled people mainly in the church to start with, why do we still have ebola patients, why do we still have little children dying of starvation and cancer, why do we still have sick fellows everywhere and why havent one amputee being gotten healed before y'all should just wake up from ur dreams and miracle mongering and face reality...

I've seen someone get shot with live bullets and the person didn't feel it and I've watched a pagan fill a basket with water.
My cousin once plucked an orange from a farm decorated with heathen ornaments. He got pox all over his body the next day. After his mom went to plead with the old woman that owned the farm, the pox disappeared. No medication was used.

You consider these parlour tricks?
There are several verified accounts of spells online.
How do you explain the bird that fell from a power line and transformed into a woman in Lagos.. lemme guess, parlour trick.

James Randi also trained his homosexual lover to whom he is now married, "José Alvarez" who was from Venezuela and labouring under an assumed name, to be a TV psychic in Australia. After they were caught, he claimed that it was all a demonstration to see how gullible the public are.. LOL LOL LOL.

The guy is naive. He thought he had sunk Peter Poppoff He had no idea what he was dealing with. Poppoff is back a multi-millionaire, selling "miracle" bread and "holy" water, and running his "ministry".

The day you show me a pastor that can perform clear cut miracles like healing a person with amputated limbs and restoring the person's limbs back of healing babies with down syndrome then I'll believe you. Until then all pastors that perform miracles are fake. Non of their miracle healing are real. We all saw what happened to TB Joshua one of the most prolific miracle churning pastors in Nigeria. When the church building collapsed, ambulances came and rushed many of the victims to the hospital because they had real injuries that weren't fake, normally people come to him for healing and we are made to believe that he heals them. In reality most of the people that come to him play out a script, when reality struck his powers failed him, he could not lay his hands and try to heal many of the people that got injured and died under the rubble. he was helpless and all he could do was claim that it was MEND that attacked him. Clear cut miracles never happen only fake and scripted ones. I will say that anywhere and anytime.

Think about how many 'miracles' were actually explained later by scientific explanations.

Now think about how many scientific principles turned out later to have a miraculous, non-scientific explanation.

Compare the number. That should answer your question.
