This is a guy I know through another message board.
We were discussing intelligent design versus evolution, and he claims to have firsthand experience of miracles. So I ask him what happened.

Him: Feeding of the five thousand? A couple of weeks ago, a friend from church experienced something extremely similar during a day's work as a chef.

Me: What, did it look like they were going to run out of fries, but someone found another box of them out back?

Him: Nope. They were down to their last loaf of bread, and he kept making toast, turned round, and they were still down to the same last loaf, kept making toast, turned round, and they were still down to the same last loaf etc.

Someone else: What aload of bollocks, if u belive that ill belive that I have spent the night ******* god up the ass.

Him: So, someone who I know from experience to be honest and trustworthy tells me that something happened, and yet it is automatically "a load of bollocks"? Right, I think this debate is becoming rather pointless and futile.

Me: Wait, someone at your church, who is "honest and trustworthy" told you about a miracle that happened to him personally, yet rivals the miracles performed by Jesus frickin' Christ the frickin' Son of God, and you believe him? What part of planet Gullible did you fall from? Are you in some kind of cult? Seriously, this is whacko stuff, you know, you are seriously telling us that you believe that God magically created a few more slices of bread so your mate didn't have to walk to the shops to get a new loaf? If so, then you really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really need a reality check. Really. Like, right now.

...

I'm not sure where this is going, but people believe some very, very weird stuff.
