Now that Oral Roberts is dead, who will heal the crippled?

Here’s video of Oral Roberts healing a boy stricken with polio. It’s a miracle! Oral, you truly were the Oracle of God. What will we do without you?

Well, for a different perspective, we have the good people at “Why Doesn’t God Heal Amputees?” with their classic video “Proving that prayer is superstition.”

And for further reading, I suggest David Hume’s “Of Miracles,” which asks which is more likely, that reports of miracles really do describe a fundamental overturning of the laws of nature, or that the person making the claim of said miracle is simply not telling the truth? Oral?

    About Me

    I've published two novels: The Secrets of the Camera Obscura (Chronicle Books), and The Third Eye (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday). I'm currently working as a journalist for AOL's Sphere. For the past three years I also spouted political opinion for AOL's Political Machine, which I also helped edit. My non-fiction has appeared in places like Men's Vogue, The Wall Street Journal Magazine, USA Today, Newsday, Travel + Leisure, GQ (Spain), and Vanity Fair (Italy). I've dabbled with short stories, publishing in Nerve and a few small journals.

    The other half of my split personality finds me playing a variety of instruments for a variety of bands, and writing songs for film soundtracks.
