Thanks to my evil twin for this one:
Man Falls After Receiving Spirit, Sues
Claims church liable for injuries sustained during healing service
"Last June, Matthew Lincoln was attending an evening service at his nondenominational Tennessee church when he approached the altar where a visiting minister was offering individual prayers for parishioners. Assigned "catchers" were present on the altar in case congregants fainted, fell, or otherwise lost control. When the minister, Robert Lavala, slightly touched his forehead, the Knoxville-area man "received the spirit and fell backwards." Except nobody was there to catch him ....."
What? No Angels of the Lord with outstretched arms and unfurled wings? No passing Chariots of Fire?
Well, fuck me sideways.
These WYJLs are sodding cunning. They'll use any aspect of their own stupidity to try and make some dosh.

- I don't know much about Christianity, but I know that you don't fuck with the Holy Spirit. I would think twice about moving forward with this lawsuit.

When the minister, Robert Lavala, slightly touched his forehead, the Knoxville-area man "received the spirit and fell backwards." Except nobody was there to catch him, Lincoln charges in a $2.5 million lawsuit filed yesterday against Lakewind Church and its pastors. Lincoln, 58, claims that he fell backwards, striking his head against the "carpet-covered cement floor," according to the Circuit Court complaint, which was first reported by Courthouse News Service."

- ROFL - quacks.. I love it when these so called 'faith healers' get a dose of reality.. in this case.. a multi-million dollar lawsuit. (On a side note... how the hell does this get tagged as 'atheist' when by definition faith-healing is from God? - not that I believe in this sort of thing but at least be correct when we discuss it.)

- Part of me is giggling, another part is groaning over more evidence of humanity's unfitness to exist.
