From the text:

"Jesus was the only One that ever raised the dead." The continued, "and He shouldn't have done it. He thrown everything off balance. If He did what He said, then it's nothing for you do but throw away everything and follow Him, and if He didn't then it's nothing for you to do but enjoy the few minutes you left the best way you can-by killing somebody or burning down his house or doing some other meanness to him.
