As for what you had to say about the scientific theories, give me another one! I just about peed myself laughing!

I also agree and believe that You have the right to believe whatever you want to or not. I don’t believe that one man should have to justify his beliefs to another.

What actually spurred me to even post in the first place was the few comments about how ridiculous the humans are acting. When there are so many far more stupid things going on out there that most people think are hilarious.

About “the legs thing” it actually felt more like my legs were asleep, as if I sat on an uncomfortable stool for far too long and lost blood flow to that area of my body. I could not physically move for a few min. Power of suggestion or not, it was odd to loose control of my faculties like that.

I’ve been in contact with hypnotists (and read a few books), not to mention been “hypnotized”.

What the guy did was walk past saying “sleep” to each of us in a line, and then fed us a story about our arms being attached to helium balloons. What happened next? Everybody’s arms rose. Including mine. At one point, I decided to stop, for about 4 seconds, before continuing, to see if it could be done. I was able to stop fully.

It’s called the power of suggestion. They simply direct your mind to do things it is already willing to do. Would you fall down before “God”? Your preacher is simply using your mindset this way.

A similar thing happened to me (the legs thing) when I was about to faint at a point. I was playing basketball with some friends, and I got tunnel vision. I remember saying to myself, step out, get some air, some water. I couldn’t move. But I did eventually manage to step out of the game, still dazed. The thing is, you are only thinking “work legs”. Have you ever tried to ask someone to dance, or on a date, and felt that “just do it, just do it” feeling. But you don’t do it. Same thing. It’s that just do it feeling without the doing it.

Now I say it: I’m atheist.

If I were to ask you (specifically) if believing in God were foolish, or feeling His power were foolish, would you say yes? Probably not. So these people were not acting foolish, in their minds. They merely fell under the power of suggestion.

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying believing in God is foolish, I just don’t buy it. Many people have this as part of their lives, and that’s fine with me. I don’t.

I did have an experience once. I didn’t believe that people were just falling down and acting foolish for any good reason.
When it happened to me, I was just singing a song the band was playing and the preacher guy(not the one in this video) came by and waved his hand at me from 5′-6′ away. For whatever reason, My legs gave out completely. I couldn’t stand up anymore.

I didn’t pass out or faint. I was completely aware of what was going on and I know I kept thinking “that’s weird…work legs.” It took about 5 min before I could collect myself and get up. To this day I still worship, and go to church and watch people fall down. I still laugh at them too.
