How can people change like this on their own?

One thing about crazy, you can't fix crazy...........but can God?
Originally posted by @whodeyI have known countless people who have found religion, lost religion, changed religion, never had any religion, and so on. They all have their stories. If there is something you think is out of the ordinary in your youtube clip, just say what it is, or perhaps mention where the unusual or striking part of the "testimony" is so that it can be commented on if necessary.
Perhaps you should watch it all before commenting.
Originally posted by @fmfI thought it extraordinary because of the apparent change it had upon him. Add to the fact that his delusional paranoia seemed to vanish as well which is somewhat of a miracle.

Originally posted by @whodeyI've come across all kinds of people who have experienced change in their lives and in themselves, with or without - or even sometimes despite - their religious beliefs. You must have come across "extraordinary" changes in people that had nothing to do with religion too, right?

Originally posted by @whodeyAccording to his story he didn't change "on his own".
Christians are called to give their testimony such as this.

How can people change like this on their own?
1) He was (is?) mentally unstable.
2) He was greatly influenced by a Christian called "Randy".
Why you lie so much, Whodey? Is it habit?
