I agree. Would like the cheerleading media on CNBC to do some real perspective analysis. There was a guy on Kudlow last night who tried to bring up this very issue about stock buy backs inflating EPS, and Larry cut him off... mostly due to time I think, but still I could tell what was coming...

So far I think we are all in agreement in "feeling" the same things about the big picture. I'm wondering if anyone has stats? I can't find any. All I see is fund managers and the like touting "profit growth." But I think it begs the question. Yes. I think some individual named companies are...

I have asked this question of several stock gurus, but gotten no replies: I hear all the talk of increasing profits at companies as a sign of economic health, or general prosperity, in the overall economy. BUT I wonder, what percent of this increase is due to stock buy backs and cost...

I remeber watching a documentary about 5 years ago or more. It was made by National Geographic or the Discovery Channel. A couple of anthropologists went to the SE Asia to view shaman rituals and film them. They watched in horror as the tribesmen, under the influence of ritual and drugs...

What, you think I've not already asked all these same questions myself?? Remember, I came from an atheistic background.

You just complained about the 99% of the Christians not having sufficient faith to get healed, and then complained about the 14,000 strong group that could not discern truth from error or the difference between inner moral character and outward appearances. Perhaps you have answered your own...

Just like no one realized Bill Clinton had a problem with Little Girls. BTW, Ted didn't preside over anyone. He was head of a loose association of ministries which holds no one accountable. Not that it makes it any better, but hypocrisy doesn't recognize political boundaries. It is an equal...

Well, I respect the way you state the case. However, I am not sure that you are being fair. While there are many charlatans and overly eager "believers" out there who claim everything is a miracle, there are many reports of miracles and answered prayers out there that come from credible and...

Not sure what your point is. The question originally framed is: God doesn't heal amputees [do miracles]; ergo no God. IF that assumption is challenged even by a small sampling of documented miracles, then you have evidence for God that disproves or calls into question the validity of the...

I would consider supernatural forces can work for good or for evil and that even people who have terrible theology can still be used by God. After all, if God spoke through a dumb jackass, he can use stupid people. From a scientific standpoint, if the healings are documented, and are indeed...

Forget the opinion. Look at the documentations. The first ones are documented, the second are anecdotal. I don't suggest the second are evidence of themselves.

Here are some sources with links to documentations of medical miracles. They are summaries of the listed sources of investigations of only 2 ministries, one Catholic and one Protestant. I don't vouch for the theologies of either source, but the rigor of the Catholic reserve regarding Lourdes is...

Most of the arguments presented from lhk are cut and pasted from here: <a href="http://whywontgodhealamputees.com/god5.htm"> whywontgodhealamputees</a>. They aren't original, but part of a proselytizing, evangelistic campaign. Found some interesting analysis of the weak assumptions of this...

Just an aside. I was searching for claims of healing of amputees, just for curiosity's sake. What I did come across is this exact thread under many many different forums, and started to wonder if this is an honest thread or an organized crusade? The arguments, many of them non sequiturs, are...

] I don't see it was effectively wrecked, but if you read my post, you'll see I was saying that it was pointless to do comparative body counts. It shows or proves nothing.

Arch, you'll have to learn to recognize irony and tongue and cheek when you see it :-)

What is faith? Not being glib, but serious. Jesus came back to Nazareth and could not do might works there because of the people's unbelief [Mark 6:5-6]. Calvin outlined 3 kinds of faith, <a href="http://www.providencepca.com/essays/savingfaith.html">Notitia</a>, <a...

No, it applies in context to praying for merchandise, not for healing.

Proof # 666 - Atheism's Body Count It is obvious that Atheism cannot be true; for if it were, it would produce a more humane world, since it values only this life and is not swayed by the foolish beliefs of primitive superstitions and religions. However, the opposite proves to be true...

Unless of course you are Catholic and your marriage was annulled :-)
