Oh no! There are so many videos on youtube of people describing encountering aliens and being abducted by them - can they all be lying? People need to "wake up" - right?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Atheism disease is that it regard the body as the ultimate in evolution.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LAUGHABLE considering that in reality the body is a slavery.
We are stuck inside this body.
As a vehicle is not the driver also the body is not us.
Smart people however realize this realty so they try their very best to get out this slavery and be free ASAP.
Atheists and people who don't care instead build up the canary syndrome and don't bother anymore whether they live in a cage or not. 
Yeah yeah yeah, whatever, get to the important part. Does my ghost have a dick?

Perfect Khem.
Absolutely perfect.
You got so so blind that the lower attraction such as the sex has become the number one priority in your life.

Other people number one priority are money.
In this way people like you are forced to pull an enormous load that sooner or later will brake your back.
I guess you guys never guessed that by working on the higher glands rather than the lower will produce much much better result without breaking your back, did you?

Your soul is just a vehicle too. Sorry but it's vehicles all the way down.

Time will tell son. 
In the meantime I do struggle to steer the vehicle up rather than down.
What about you?

The mind and body are one. Let go of that ego, Rik.

RE: NDE's
November 10, 2017 at 11:01 am
(November 8, 2017 at 12:18 pm)Aegon Wrote: Well, almost every NDE I've ever heard involves:
-intense feelings of peace, joy, calmness
-feeling as if the person is departing their body (looking down)
-being in a tunnel / moving through dark space
-seeing bright, comforting, light
-entering light, seeing peaceful landscapes
-sometimes seeing dead relatives or a review of their life
The physiological explanation for these is the activation of the angular gyrus, and endorphin flooding the brain. Really, it seems that beyond that, any, erm, "customization" of a NDE is obviously related to that person's beliefs. Christians, surprise surprise, say they see heaven or hell. Even life long atheists will see it, if they have been primarily exposed to Christian belief and thought their whole life. A Lakota Sioux medicine man reported seeing things related to his tribe's beliefs and life experience, including a spiritual journey across the Atlantic, heavenly horses, migrating geese, and spotted eagles.
So I'm sure they're telling the truth. But it does not mean much to me.
In addition, there's also the effects of confabulation to consider; the brain filling in gaps in the narrative after the fact, as a result of suggestion or otherwise... such that what is immediately reported about an NDE after waking up is more reliable evidence than anything that follows, which could be basically contaminated by this process.

Rikky, you fucking struggle with breathing in and out. Nobody said that humans are the ultimate in evolution except you.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Deduction Cyb, deduction.
If for an atheist God doesn't exist what else is there other than man as the ultimate in evolution unless you tell me than a donkey is the ultimate?
