Oh yeah?! Well, by using the Power of Atheism I can slide the end of my index finger off and on without any pain, and there's no trace of any wound! It freaks little kids out, and makes them into instant atheists!
This is one of those "even if there were a video" miracles. I can gain or lose an inch of height without even changing my posture just by tensing my muscles. Most people will gain some height while sleeping, then lose a bit over the course of the day as their own weight compresses their spine, and the taller a person is the greater the difference is between morning and night. Anyone who's impressed by that could be fooled into buying dehydrated water.
It'd be nice if more Christians would protest the sort of obvious BS. I mean, if you were a Christian, and thought this guy was on the level, but your Jesus didn't make you taller or fix that cancer on your whatever, how would you feel? Like maybe your Jesus doesn't love you as much?
Call me when your Jesus shows up to use those carpentry skills to help shelter the homeless or do something otherwise useful. These half-baked pseudo miracles aren't going to cut it.

When I stand up straight I grow more than an inch taller. Then there’s the story my dad tells me about his buddy (might be an urban legend and it sounds better when you personalize it, but still it’s reasonable) who did not stand upright the entire day before his draft physical so that he was too tall to be drafted. Then Sherlock Holmes was written to be capable of disguising his height by several inches just by posture. I know it’s a fictional story, but so is the claim by the preacher. I mean, movies make this happen all the time, Steve Rogers was tiny before he became Captain America.
As for god having fun, fuck him. This is like billionaires building giant phallic shaped rockets to “explore” space for wealthy tourists. Do better.
Wasn't there a movie starring Ladd and Sophia Loren? She towered over him, so for one scene where they were walking beside each other, the crew literally dug a trench for her to walk in so that they seemed to be nearly the same height. I remember seeing a production still in a film book, but can't remember the name of the movie....
I prayed to SATAN to help me make something grow. He told me to go to a certain website and lo and behold.. just a few minutes later it had grown SEVERAL inches. O_o
Pornhub really needs to buy Google's search AI. It's almost impossible to find what your looking for if it doesn't fit into one of their standard categories.
No different than seeing creationists claiming to have records of people encountering live non-avian dinosaurs hundreds of years ago in form of dragon and monster myths and legends only to offer no physical evidence to prove it whatsoever other than phony photos that were photoshopped, cherry-picked fragmented texts, poorly made doctored videos, and made up forgeries that can never explain the complete absence of human and extant animal remains in and around the Mesozoic strata where the dinosaur fossils are exclusively found in.
Even earlier deepfake. Like those "faeries" that actually fooled Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the guy who created the most logic-based character in fiction.
Doyle truly believed Houdini had supernatural abilities despite Houdini repeatedly telling Doyle that all of his escapes and other tricks were affected through purely natural means.
I always liked that song. It came out when I was 21 and had recently met the love of my life.
As for Mr. French and right-wing Evangelicalism in general, more love and a heck of a lot less HORSESHIT would be very welcome.
Wondering about the people who listen to and believe Mr. French's transparent lies, I started to feel some compassion for them. That caused me to recall the famous scene from Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles," where Gene Wilder ad libs the last word in his consoling of his cellmate, Cleavon Little:
"You gotta remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know, ...MORONS."
From today call me a Belgian or Italian woman. I don't want to be associated with this conman in any way. I will stop to eat French fries and destroy my ID snd passport too.
Honestly. He can't even be bothered to do the magician's trick that makes it look like one of the legs is growing. So he just says it, and that makes it true.
That's nothing special. A couple of weeks ago, I had an outpatient appointment at the local hospital and a nurse was taking my vitals. I'm 4'11" tall. The computer was not capable of entering any height shorter than 5'0" for an adult, so the nurse said to me, "Well, I'll just enter 5'0". Was he a miracle-worker? Nah. Just a wonky computer that thinks little people like me don't exist.
Programmers. These big systems aren't done by one.
Far too many IT folks don't/can't try to think like end-users. Back when I was a coder my specialty was user interface...mostly because most of my fellow coders were a bit shy on thinking like those who had to use the systems we built.
As someone who writes system tools, my problem is creating complex interfaces in the name of flexibility. Of course, my target audience thinks more like me than the general public. The truly irritating part is the marketers who insist on changing the interface so it *looks* like a new version (Windows 11))
A literal tall tale!
Beat me to it. Like, literally as I was typing it. :)
This just in - "Woman grows an inch taller, jumps for joy, and is killed by ceiling fan."
Unintended consequences. They'll get you every time.

Soooo...
How many children have been miraculously cured of bone cancer by Jesus?
Yeah, Thought so. Are those crickets I hear?
I hear cicadas. About a million of them. 500ft to 2miles away. All the time.
I hear ringing in my ears.
Well, either there are different types of tinnitus or people interpret it differently.

Alan Ladd was taller than Veronica Lake, but only because we never saw the box he was standing on. If only he had known a good preacher...

"Boy on a Dolphin." 1957.
Thanks! 😊
Easy peasy. :)

So she was trapped in the body of a short person, but I’m guessing being trans isn’t a thing for these chiselers.

I had an encounter with an non-avian dinosaur. However, it did not end well. I only rolled a one.
Lots of guys are calling in asking what else can Mr. French make grow.
It's not brains, that's for sure.
It's little brains. The one doing the thinking when you buy that lift kit and tractor tires for your Chevy pickup.
How about love?
"Love grows where my Rosemary goes."
-Song by Edison Lighthouse
I always liked that song. It came out when I was 21 and had recently met the love of my life.

Now there an inch makes a difference. But Chris Hemsworth can do that for a lot of men by just taking off his clothes.

Oh, don't worry... just look at some of the human embarrassments 𝘰𝘶𝘳 country has produced.
And yet you find a way to import more, like ark disaster's owner.
Yeah, all those people talking about limiting immigration are worried about all the wrong traits.
We didn't import him, he emigrated. Australia was glad to be rid of him.
Bonnet blanc et blanc bonnet, you could have sent him back.
If only it were that easy. It isn't.
Criminal convictions can result in deportation, but that usually applies only to foreign nationals (noncitizens), not naturalized citizens.
Bis repetita, if he is naturalised that means he was a furriner CQNFPD 😁
Does anyone know why he left Australia in the first place? Maybe fleeing some scandal there?
Can't we send him back? We've more than met our quota of asswipes, haven't we?
He'll never leave voluntarily. He's got his scam on and as long as the rubes keep buying tickets, he'll continue to fleece them.
It's up to Christians to declare that his big boat is a graven image and that they will not support either it or him.
I'm sure they could find a loophole for the "graven image" problem, A very BIG loophole.
DM used to be 2 inches taller than me now it's about 1 inch. It's the miracle of getting old and (slouching ?) to ease her back pain 😁
That is the correct term.
Honestly. He can't even be bothered to do the magician's trick that makes it look like one of the legs is growing. So he just says it, and that makes it true.
No preacher man would ever, ever tell a fib, especially not when he needed money.
no true "Christian" would never ever tell a lie

Stupid programmer. A confirmation dialog would be one thing, but not only do short people exist, so does dwarfism.
Yup. My sister is 4'6" and is constantly running into the same problem.

Yep....look-and-feel.
An oversight? : )
No, just an underfunded county computer system that can't even talk to other systems.
Perhaps God will give Mr. French the twin gifts of ethics and honesty.
As soon as someone shares some with god, I sure he'll share with everyone.
One second thought, probably not.
He doesn't seem the share-y type. "I, the Lord, am a jealous god and will have none before me" and like that.
Mine! Mine! Mine!!!

But then he wouldn't be a Christian.
Amen!
