Almost all of these stories come from africa or some isolated community somwhere in the himalayas, the amazon, etc. Needless to say, they can never be confirmed from other sources. And how could they? Raising people from the dead is, unless you're some mad professor with a doomsday machine, quite impossible...

What is the purpose of these gigantic lies? Where is the morality of the people who manufacture and spread them? Why on earth would any sane person believe them?

And why doesn't other missionaries speak out against this nonsense? Are there no sane missionaries, or are they all lying bastards?
Well - there are two possibilities, given that the boy is alive, he either wasn't dead or he was and then he wasn't.

Are some miracles manufactured? Yes, certainly, there are documented cases of fraud. However, just because you do not believe something does not mean it is not true.

I have seen some weird stuff, including a guy apparently reclining backwards 30 degrees from the ground supported on nothing but air. I have had a "faith" healer lay his hands on me and straigten my shoulders, which were crocked. I do not say God did these things, he did not say God did these things, but I do say they happened.

Now - prove these missionaries are lying, they could just be mistaken.
