My posts are getting screenshot now? I don't know if I should feel glad or scared on a site like this
Kidding aside, I thank both of you. Ghost147 for correctly extrapolating on my points and smurfy for providing the screenshot and misspelling my name not once, but twice! No worries hehe.
After watching it a couple of times again I stand by my observations being suspicious. Apart from the camera zoom probably. As Ghost147 also correctly pointed out I did mean "it looks like", implying I do not know either.

hoax - perpetrated by varying number of actors - from entire congrgation to just the " attacker "
now - IMHO its actually quite hard to decide which option is correct - depending on the vid evidence alone

The question I have for you is:
Why are you holding on to the concept that this is the "work of god" so much? Especially after you've admitted to not caring about God-Related topics at all?

I'm not, I never said that, never mind 'so much'.

it's the priest that says it's the work of God, but there then is another problem, does he really believe, or is it a sham, or is he just mistaken?

(the knife guy could well have just passed out)[/quite]
That is highly unlikely considering a number of points that have already been posted (intentionally not falling on the knife, protection from a fall by using his arm as support, the stiffness in his neck to prevent his head from hitting the floor). Have you not seen someone pass out before? There is no awareness of the fall, it's just a collapse in a particular direction, no protection of any part of the body.

'All other religions'... This suggests that there is more than religion, and each religion believes their god is the only or 'top' god.

If there was a single omnipotent god, there would be 100% belief from 100% of his or her creations. If your god was the one written about in various versions of the bible who is an omnipotent (which means all powerful) god, that would mean no 'false' god, religion, teachings, beliefs, writings etc. would be able to take anyone's belief away ever.

You misquoted the post...
'All other religions' DOES suggest that there is more than religion but I didn't say that.
And no, that does NOT suggest that there is more than religion.
That is what YOU suggested.
What I DID say was that all other religions are fabricated counterfeits created with a stealth agenda.
Religions ARE counterfeits, there is no question about that.
Ten minutes in any search engine will confirm that as well.
In order to have a counterfeit, there MUST be a genuine article.

According to who, sciencedaily.com and dailygalaxy.com?
I highly recommend firing those sources and finding something a bit more reliable...

AGAIN, in reality there IS only one true religion...
All other religions are merely fabricated counterfeits created with a stealth agenda.
Something that sciencedaily.com will NEVER tell you BTW.

What happened was an authentic display of the power of God protecting them from evil.
