Just how?

To witness this and not roll around on the floor laughing means that you firstly believe in what you are seeing and that there are no tricksters or con artists in the world.

I would assume money is involved here, so people are probably paying to see this.

Is it due to the human brain being hammered with this type of stuff since birth?

I mean, surely no sane person would go there on holiday, for example and pop along to see the local church and declare they witnessed a miracle when they did so.

You would just burst out laughing and then be left dazed and confused when you realised it actually wasn't a comedy show.

This 'joke' has been around since I was a kid, yet I fear showing the audience members that anyone can do this at any time, would do little to change their minds.

How do they get away with it?

Does anyone with strong religious beliefs on here think this is true?

Anti theist is a default because they haven't been told about made up things. Fairly simple.

Anti theist shouldn't even be a word. There isn't a word for not believing in 80ft high purple elephants who can fly because its assumed to not be required. Religion should be the same but it isn't unfortunately.
I'm with you. If ever asked, I just say I don't believe in all that laughable rubbish.

"Oh, an atheist?"

Me: "I'm not anything"

You can label me whatever you like, I still won't be one.

Any religion to me is as daft as the original video.

The technical arguments which appear to defend it just confirm to me how desperately people need it and the lengths many will go to to justify it.

They tried to brainwash me but failed miserably.

Not a single one of my friends is religious, and almost all of my family agree it's complete and utter tripe.
