Miracle Spring Water...Now in a larger size!!!
I just saw it on an early morning infomercial. Who says your life can't be changed at 4 am eating cheetos and watching t.v.?
O_O I think the world has just lost its god damned mine. Miracle Spring Water? Really? That's all it takes nowadays to receive a blessing from God? Miracle ******* spring water. *promptly stops praying and rushes for the bottle of arrowhead* Drink this water and pain goes away and checks come in the mail! :lol: What kind of **** is this? People are idiots.clayron
Well it does have a semi-happy ending, as Popoff went bankrupt after James Randi exposed him for the fraud he was, although he's since then staged a comeback and further investigative journalism has has to have been undertaken to expose him once again.
Seems that there really is a sucker born every minute if a proven conman can come back and do it again...

The version I saw tonight had him including a special faith tool (which looked like a movie ticket) that combined with the miracle spring water will automatically erase all of your debt. :cry: I weep for the new low humanity has reachedWelcome to the light... now if you truly believe I expect the check in the mail within 5-7 business days.OMG TC, you did it!

If the Catholic church taught this as part of their doctrine, millions of people would accept it as a perfectly normal belief and many would get offended when anyone makes fun of it.StopThePressesOne Problem, he's not Catholic ;) Religion: Pentecostal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Popoff

I never said he was.It's just that, as far as mainstream branches of Christianity go, Catholicism strikes me as one of the ones that have more physical phenomena as part of their doctrine.

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"]I wouldn't say Catholic Beliefs are part of Mainstream Culture but, Okay. How far is the furthest Catholic church from where you live? Depends, I hit traffic sometimes :P Mainstream culture accepts teen pregnancy, pre-marital relationships (As in Going farther than just a date), Abortion, trying to get Gay Marriage in, Christianity is dropping in America in favor of Atheism, Pr0nz etc... Those are all contradictory to Catholicism.[QUOTE="StopThePresses"] I'm talking about acceptance of superstition being based upon how much it is rooted in tradition, and how people have a double standard about beliefs based upon how much of a part of mainstream culture said beliefs are.StopThePresses

Right, Catholicism only has 68 million followers in America and is the largest Christian denomination in the country, no way could that be considered remotely mainstream :roll:
If you set your position up as mutually exclusive then you will never be completely accepted. This country realizes a right for women to make their own moral decisions about abortion and for everyone else to make their own moral decisions about how they want to conduct their personal relationships. That's not a rejection of Catholicism, that's a belief in personal sovereignty.

We went over cognitive biases in my psych class last semester, and we were given the unfortunate lesson of how blind people can be when they believe something with a video on a similar evangelical scam artist. Even when shown video proof that the guy was faking his miracles, his followers still believed he was divinely inspired.
