But it's so much fun to watch him chase scantily clad, buxom women while Yackety Sax plays in the background!

Ugh. I may very well have been at one of these meetings. Yeah, it's pretty much like what you see. The people decide before they even go up there that they are going to fall over. They want it to be real, and when nothing happens, they don't want to embarrass the Man of God, so they fall. Every single time.

xanadian: Perhaps a group of us skeptics should form a small pod at one of these meetings and STAND FIRM!!

/for the lulz

Having attended a few Full Gospel churches, I can tell you with authority that not everybody wants to fall or takes a fall for the team. I have seen stuff you would never believe that defies reason. And in those, there are people that have tried not to fall but fall anyway.

I used to play Skyrim once, until I took an arrow to the knee...

If you like video games, and especially if you like RPG video games, yes.. you should buy Skyrim.

It'd be hilarious if someone hacked his sound system to play at least the chorus of Jesus He Knows Me at the most embarrassing/insulting moment possible

First-hand experience tells me that they seem to take it very personally if you don't.

What do they do if you refuse to 'play ball?' Do they shout at you with something along the lines of "He must have a demon in him!"?

I actually sort of expected that as I had never seen anyone not fall before, so I wasn't sure how to gauge what the reaction would be. Keep in mind, this was a place where this sort of thing was a regular occurrence. Revivals weren't something that was brought to your town once a year by Billy Graham, but something that happened every Sunday. Speaking in tongues, getting filled with the Holy Ghost, falling out, the laying of hands, all part of the regular church service. Thankfully it wasn't backwoods enough for snake handling.

What actually happened, though, is that they just took extra time with me and then tried to guilt me into it. After a couple minutes, when it was clear it wasn't happening, they moved on. I wasn't being belligerent either, I just didn't feel like falling down on purpose and there was no other-worldly force making it so I didn't have a choice in the matter, so I remained standing.

Sunday was my first real day with nothing to do in about 2 weeks. So I went full dragonborn. My wife was like "WTF have you been doing in the den for the last 8 hours?" Geeking out hard indeed.

as stated above, I have seen things that can not be explained by science, nor are they mass hallucinations or induced hysterics.

given that, you should see for yourself, research it, and tell us what you found.

Well, I was raised in an evangelical church where this sort of thing was a regular occurrence, and with people who believe 110% in it. I personally never saw anything that couldn't be explained with just regular common sense, much less science.

It has been researched, many times, by people much smarter than myself. The evidence is overwhelming that faith-healing and all the trappings surrounding it (speaking in tongues, falling over in the spirit, etc.) are at best, the result of suggestion upon individuals already predisposed to believing. At worst, it is just outright fraud being perpetrated on weak-minded suckers.

Which one applies to you?

My fav is Robert Tilton. I used to work graveyard and would be home and drinking at 8:00am. Fark that guy was a riot. I would laugh my ass off when he would start speaking in tongues. The sad part is there's enough suckers out there for these guys to make big $$$$$$$

I have never tried stage hypnotism, but I'm a very tall and bearded Alpha with a compelling voice, and not entirely stupid.

I *know* I could do better than this if I were more of a bastard and there was nothing at all of god in me:

I could do better than this if I were more of a bastard

The Beatles and Elvis did it without realizing it. This guy has it down to an art. I have a very begrudging respect for that level of abuse.

Actually, it doesn't take "Science" to explain it, just a knowledgeable magician or illusionist:

I think I see the problem. I personally don't understand the gap, so let's fill it with some god.

you probably just needed a Holy Ghost enema.

Happens in aikido demonstrations, too. Doesn't mean it's real.

Usually they try to push you down if you won't willingly fall with a light touch. I grew up attending evangelical churches and the amount of emotional group-think is ridiculous. One time when I was called forward to be "ministered to" the ~~charlatan~~ minister pushed on my forehead until my head tipped back like a PEZ dispenser in his attempt to get me to "fall out in the spirit".

People fall because they expect to or were pushed.
