sTalking TV Host Mike Hucksterbee speaks Jesus.

He may not speak mexican, or even cuban, but he does speak Jesus.

JC, if ever he did exist, AND if he had some (il)legitimate genetic connection with that all-seeing fairy god in the sky, AND he came back from the dead, undead, or whatever they call their make-believe place up there, and visited our 7,000 year old, flat earth, he would take one look at Hucksterbee and either cough up a heavenly lung laughing at his idiocy, or look with dismay, regret, and incredible sadness at what a failure and travesty was committed in his name, and decide to travel to other galaxies, never to visit this flat earth ever again.

Probably about 30% of Americans... WTF? Only good argument ever for English only.

where one of them said something to the effect of "Well, I was praying last night and Jesus told me..."
Instead of carting this guy off the funny farm, the others nodded their heads in agreement, like they, too, often heard Jesus speaking to them. I was flabbergasted. I wanted to shout out "What the hell is wrong with you people? Don't you see that you are all clinically insane?"

Instead, I just backed away slowly, trying to be sure not to make any sudden or threatening moves before I was safely out of range.

how god tells one preacher one thing, and another preacher something completely opposite.

God is playing mind games with them and laughing his divine ass off!

Unless it is nothing more than a big cosmic joke, in which case it makes perfect sense.

10. How to get Jesus to talk to you

One guy I worked with tried to sell me on this practice. He said to read the Bible for ten minutes each day. Before and after reading, say this: Dear Jesus, please deliver a message to me. He guaranteed that Jesus would appear before me.

It would probably work. It's called self hypnosis.

How To Use Self-Hypnosis To Achieve Your Goals

Please Note these articles are meant for information purposes only and are not a substitute for Medical or Psychological treatment.

What is Self-Hypnosis?

Have you ever seen old horror films and television programmes that portray hypnosis as a frightening instrument of mind control where unscrupulous villains enslave the will of helpless victims? Perhaps you have seen stage shows where a hypnotist seemsto be able to use their “hypnotic powers” to make people do and say things that they would never do or say under normal conditions. If so, it is not surprising that hypnosis may seem just a little bit wacky, not unlike other seemingly mystical and unexplainable phenomena. This is unfortunate because hypnosis is, in fact, a serious therapeutic tool that can help people overcome many psychological, emotional and even some physical problems.
