Woman calls bullsh*t on pastor’s claims that he raised brother from the dead during church service

A British woman disputed a pastor’s claims that he raised her brother from the dead during a church service.

Robby Dawkins, a self-described faith healer, claims that a worshiper collapsed and died last month during a service he was preaching – coincidentally enough, on resurrecting the dead – in northern England, reported Charisma News.

The pastor claims Matt Catlow collapsed upon hearing the sermon’s title, and his hands withered and began twitching as his mother screamed for an ambulance.

“What I saw was a strong demonic presence over him,” Dawkins said, describing the symptoms of a seizure.

I think it's an artifact leftover from a more ignorant time, when most would read such a story and say "wow, god sure is powerful". Or something.
