That just tells you what a cunt God is when he not only spares the holistic energy healer but also encourages her in her holistic energy healing scam.
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"

(July 24, 2025 at 11:59 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: Woman shares moment she 'saw Hell' after car crash and describes 'screaming souls'
The 51-year-old holistic energy healer, Yoga Premananda, said she "died" and passed over to the "other side" - and says she entered a dark, cold room before falling in the "terrifying" pit.
At the scene, there was a shadow-like figure present with a strong smell of smoke and an endless ceiling. Then, she was met by what she described as the "Archangel Raphael" – a prominent healing figure across multiple religions – who challenged her. Then, she was "suddenly" in the "waiting room" for Heaven.
She said: "I wasn’t scared, but I didn’t know what I was doing in the Hell realm. There was a spinning pyre of flames, with souls hanging off it, screaming and reaching for help. The shadow figures around me wondered who I was.
"The shadow figures around me wondered who I was. And the whole room’s dimensions were odd; the walls were shadows and they felt cold, yet hot; dry, yet wet. I wasn’t even thinking about my body back on Earth.
"When Archangel Raphael appeared, he was wearing dark sunglasses, a long dark trench coat and a black hat. Suddenly, I was beamed into a waiting room for Heaven in a split second. I felt very normal and quite comfortable. When I reached the other side, I was relieved – it was like home."
Before she entered Heaven, she entered a long, white tunnel with other souls that were filtering through. Archangel Raphael then made the decision of where would should stay.
She said: "He was sitting at a desk going through and stamping papers with information of the souls. There was a bright and light energy around it; the total opposite to what I thought Hell was like.
"No one used words, but we still communicated. A familiar feeling came over me as some souls went to the end of the tunnel – and I knew I wasn’t supposed to go there. I still had my physical body, whereas other souls were just orbs of light passing through."
As I was dying, I saw my legs crushed under the steering wheel.” But when it was her turn to approach Archangel Raphael, he stamped her ticket and reversed the crash.
"He got the okay from God to save my life. When I went back into my physical body, my car was miraculously on the road with no scratches or bumps. It was like a scene from a movie. I was filled with purpose and the information I had received rearranged my body. A piece of my brain had been activated – and the process was complete.”
Yoga uses her journey to help other people understand their near-death experiences through her work as a holistic healer.

It's a miracle! She was in a crash and died and saw an Archangel dressed like a 1930s gangster with a civil service job who owned a Star Trek transporter and then she went to hell and heaven (which has its own waiting room) and then the crash was 'reversed' leaving no physical evidence of the incident whatsoever!
How can people read this story and NOT believe in God??

And paperwork. Apparently, there's paperwork in her heaven.

We're about to get Aristotelian, so this can't be stupid. Right?
Do Animals Go To Heaven?
Catholic Answers:
Quote:Okay, so first of all, this idea that you hear that animals don’t have an afterlife is not church teaching. That is a theological speculation that is based on Aristotelian physics or metaphysics.
I’m not convinced by that. I would say that I don’t propose animals go to heaven. I don’t know whether they go to heaven or not. Heaven is full spiritual union with God. But I do think there is evidence that they have an afterlife and that at least some animals do, and that it may be a positive afterlife, even if it isn’t the kind of full union with God, you know, where you have this intellectual vision of God known as the beatific vision that humans can get.
I don’t know what animals get, but I do have evidence that they may well have an afterlife and that it may be a positive afterlife. Whether it would or would not count as heaven is a separate question.
When humans have near-death experiences, they not only see their departed relatives in the afterlife while they’re temporarily clinically dead, they also see animals.
I did a search of a major database of near-death experiences. It has like more than 5,000 near-death experiences in it. And I found by searching on terms like, you know, cat, dog, rabbit, horse, pet animal, things like that, that as many as a quarter of the near-death experience reports that the database contained might have references to animals in them.
Humans very frequently have experiences that are what are known as after-death communications. Okay, well, turns out it happens with animals too. There are animal after-death communications.

^This is the kind of silliness you get when people accept anecdotes as evidence.

In honor of Hulk Hogan's passing, I decided to share some of his nuggets of insanity that only a mind devoured by Christianity can produce, as Hulk Hogan the Christian was obviously criminally underrepresented in this thread.
Quote:Hulk Hogan suggests coronavirus is punishment from God and: 'Maybe we don't need a vaccine'
On Monday, the WWE star shared his beliefs on Instagram, where he compared the pandemic to the “plagues of Egypt”.
“In three short months, just like He did with the plagues of Egypt, God has taken away everything we worship,” Hogan wrote. “God said: ‘You want to worship athletes, I will shut down the stadiums. You want to worship musicians, I will shut down Civic Centres. You want to worship actors, I will shut down theatres.’”
According to the 66-year-old Hall of Famer, who has more than 1.5m followers on Instagram, God is also punishing those who “worship money” by shutting down the economy and collapsing the stock market, as well as those who don’t want to go to church.
“‘If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land,’” Hogan continued in the lengthy caption.
The retired wrestler, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, then suggested that “maybe we don’t need a vaccine” and that this time of “isolation” should instead be used for “personal revival” and to focus on Jesus.
“Maybe we don't need a vaccine, maybe we need to take this time of isolation from the distractions of the world and have a personal revival where we focus on the ONLY thing in the world that really matters. Jesus,” Hogan concluded.
