the only person that made sense was the dali lama. the superstitious morons AKA christian pastors were a complete joke. all those idiots who believe they went to "heaven" and came back during a near death experience made me laugh for 2 straight hours.
why do christians believe this stuff? is it lack of education or are they on drugs?

Are uneducated or on drugs the only 2 options?

You know for a fact that there is no God? It seems to me that the evidence says there is. The universe is full of design. Where there is design there has to be a designer.
. You look at bats. They do not fly by sight. They can barely see in the day but they sleep in the day. They are nocturnal creatures. They do all their activities at night and at night they are blind. They fly by means of sonar. They send out sound waves through their nose as they are flying. If those sound waves bounce off something and come back at them, they pick them up and know that they are heading toward something and need to veer in a different direction. Somehow they know how fast they are flying and they know that sound travels at 723 MPH and as they fly they continue to send out sound waves so they continue to get updated information. Given enough info(and continued updated info) a mathematician could sit down with a pencil and paper and some calculus equations and figure out how far the bat was from the object and with the right info could even figure out if the object the bat is heading toward is stationary or moving toward the bat or away from it. But that would take time and if the bat took that much time he’d be flying into trees and telephone poles other things. We have developed computers that can do that in a second. That's what sonar is all about. The bat has a computer in his head that can figure that info out in a nanosecond. It knows what it is heading for without being able to physically see. It's flying by instruments(as pilots would say). Do you really think that the sonar equipment that is in the bats head just came about by random chance(read....luck) natural processes?
Design demands a designer. Who could design a universe? You call him what you want, I call Him God. If there's a God, there's a heaven. If God could create the universe, He could certainly take anyone to heaven for a visit and then bring them back. I didn't see her special but near death experience research
has some merit.
Incidently, christians are a lot less likely to be on drugs then the general public. Just look at the statistics.

I did watch it. I liked the one preacher who did not confront the "strong issues", he had a huge church, a hottie wife and tons of bucks coming in. The one "near death" kook when told how scientists explained it replied" but I was there and I know differently". Your observations are correct. Lenin was right about one thing, religion is an opiate for the mind.

Yes, but the dahli lama, who thinks he could be reincarnated as a dog or WHATEVER makes incredible sense! Did you take leave of yours?

No I didn't watch it, but on judgement day you can ask Jesus Christ that question, but I don't think you'll like the answer you're gonna get.
