I just had to respond to that EXCITING letter with an experience I had.

As one of countless teenagers to work in a fast food chain, I had the
AMAZING experience of of sticking my hand into (an honest) 400 degree
deep fat fryer. With lightening fast reflexes, I pulled my hand out
and shoved it into the ice bin, needless to say, it was burned to hell.

Actually, I really DIDN'T BURN myself at all, and yes my hand was fully
submerged in oil. The difference between myself, and the writer of that
message is that I didn't go looking for religious followers. As has been
posted (too many times already), fire-walking isn't impossible, it is
explainable with physics. Since I don't want to rain on his parade, I would
like to offer him a suggestion of something truly AMAZING. Go lie on your
back and stare at a cloud, concentrate really hard, and see if you can
actually burn a hole through it. You'll be ASTOUNDED.
(my mother used this trick to get me out of her hair, when I was younger)

Truly SORRY for wasting everyones time (really)...
