Faith healers are very destructive... they convince sick people that they are well... then people do not seek proper medical treatment, resulting in a worse condition or even death


Enticing a disabled person to stand up out of their wheelchair, and run across the stage is extremely dangerous...

Once the adrenaline rush wears off, people are in severe pain... and the preacher will blame the victim for not having enough faith in God:

I love this stuff. I can never get over the fact that grown human beings fall for this shit in their millions. Do they never notice the constant demands for money? Does that not set off a little light in their heads? Guess not.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMbfQ117Jts

To be completely fair, WBC is just trolling...

I have it on good authority, that nearly every member of that "church" is a lawyer... they get their money by protesting soldier funerals, calling them fags... then when someone throws a punch, they sue...

I don't think the WBC actually believes what they say... they are simply trolls who are playing a game for money

I almost feel like they are trolling Christians by being extreme literalists (fundamentalists)...

Basically scamming the system, legally.  Nice.  People should just ignore them.  They are so offensive on so many levels.  It is hard.

Nope, all lightbulbs are long burned out and there is a half inch of dust that's accumulated on the surface.  The power of belief is just incredible.  It shuts off all rational thought processes and one's brain becomes steak tartar.  I tend to love this stuff too but I only admit it online under the cloak of pseudo-anonymity.  It's like masturbating in the bathroom.  But I don't do that, I was talking about other people.

Much like the flu... children and the elderly are particularly susceptible to religion

Children are indoctrinated by their parents, who they trust 100% to tell them the truth (for some strange reason)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoctrination#Religious
Quote
Indoctrination is the process of forcibly inculcating ideas, attitudes, cognitive strategies or a professional methodology (see doctrine) by coercion

The elderly are near death, and grasp at any religion which promises of an afterlife

The bible warned us about these kind of teachings.

When your kids are old enough, like 12-14, tell them not to trust anyone (including you), not to trust authority (teachers/parents/grandparents), read and figure stuff for yourself.  Question everything.  And never believe in supernatural shit, unless there is scientific evidence for it.

I did that with my kids.  They developed pretty good critical thinking skills.  They can smell BS from a mile away.  No matter if it comes from a teacher, preacher, politician or a car salesman.

The problem I have with these guys is they are not stupid...

They are under no illusion that religion is real... they are con artists, plain and simple

If they were not preachers, they would be in prison...
