Wingnut preacher Rick Joyner says that he’s seen miracles, like feeding a “huge group” with a single casserole that never ran out. I’ve been to enough church potlucks in my life to believe that there was a dish that never ran out, but it was probably because no one ate it. I’d bet money that it was that lime green jello with the carrot shards in it that no one ever touched.

This should be easy enough to prove, just get a casserole and start feeding people. See if it runs out.
Oh, I forgot, the magic doesn’t work if skeptical people are in the room, right?
Yup, put Gawd to the test, he fails every time.

And here I thought it was because Jesus was so inspiring, it convinced people to make extra casserole… Shows what I know!

Rick Joyner is a liar.
But, then, you probably already knew that.

Poor effort by fundie xian standards.
There are any number of claims that people have been raised from the dead. This is a staple story in fundieland.
Of course, they always happen in out of the way places and there is never any proof.
Not to forget the faith healers, some of whom have become multi-millionaires from their “spiritual gifts”.
PS What would be a real miracle would be Rick Joyner for once sounding like a normal, coherent person. This is the guy who claims to be a New Apostle appointed by Jesus/god to do whatever New Apostle’s are supposed to do because…he said he was.

I have experience this first hand on many occaisions. When someone puts a plate of pulpo in front of me, no matter how much I eat there always seems to be more than when I started.

I have seen the eternal casserole! It is three cans of string beans dumped into a dish and garnished with crumbled Cheezits.

My mother-in-law made something similar, but she had an extra ingredient: raisins. Horrible stuff.

This makes me think of something that was floating around fundieland years back. There were stories that people were having their teeth suddenly turn to gold. A miracle! This included Canadian evangelist Willard Thiessen, who excitedly told his viewers about the miracle. Unfortunately for Thiessen he ended up embarrassed when his dentist brother Elmer told him that he’d put in the gold tooth, not God.

My mom, a Minnesota native, used to make this bizarre concoction, but she’d top it with cottage cheese.

What a shit-stain liar this clown is! But ya never know! It could of possibly been the green jello with the raisons and carrot shards. Or then it could of been the one my first wife made. Macaroni salad with raisons in it!
But IMHO, this dumbfugg and all these reprobate X-tians need is a good pithing!!!

You’re paying the price of your atheism, Brayton. Lime jello salad without miniature marshmallows is the devil’s work.

Well sure, I can believe Yahweh saw a group of overfed American Christians and after thinking: ‘Hmmm fat, well to do Christians (although they always want more money) who tell the poor to fuck off’, said: “What these people need is a bottomless casserole.”

No matter how many lies he tells, Rick Joyner never runs out of lies. Is that a miracle?

21: Or maybe Joyner actually did manage to feed this “huge group” with a lot of different dishes of the SAME casserole (i.e., Joyner’s playing a idiotic semantics game with the “one” aspect of the “one casserole” characterization to make a wildly misleading claim to his viewers, without technically “lying” to them).

I’ve never run across a bottomless casserole. On the other hand, I’ve never attended a potluck in the rural South or Midwest where there wasn’t enough to feed a small army.
(It is a crime against humanity to put carrot shards in green jello. Everyone knows that you put them in orange jello).

Exactly. Pineapple chunks go in green jello.

I thought the jelly with raisons, grated carrot and cream cheese got the vodka. (No self-respecting kid would even approach such a thing).

It’s funny how God’s miracles are always so localized. According to the Bible, Jesus healed lepers that he just happened to meet. He didn’t end leprosy for all time. He apparently gave eyesight to blind people he happened to meet. He didn’t end blindness everywhere for everyone. Jesus supposedly multiplied the loaves and fishes in one particular location and time. He didn’t end hunger for everyone, everywhere. And now he’s multiplying casseroles for self-congratulatory, self-righteous liars for Jesus in one church, so fuck the starving people all over the world. Nice god these guys worship.

Back when I was about 11 my church’s youth group was treated to a retreat with Richard Mixon (not a name easily forgotten). He told the story of being broke and driving his Pinto 300 miles on an empty tank of gas.
Lying for Jesus has a long tradition stretching back 2,000 years.

Casserole? No wonder it didn’t get eaten. You have to call it “hot dish” or good Christians won’t know what the hell it is.
Well, in the midwest, anyway.
The jello stuff is called “salad,” and dessert is called “bars.”

peicurmudgeon got it right @ #10, the pastor doesn’t pay attention to women (they are real people) and never sees them replenish the buffet.
