There are millions of complete nutters in the world, and, thanks to the internet, many of them have now found a venue by means of which to spray their lunacy, be it about dreams and visions, ESP or near death experiences. The fact that you count this sort of testimony to be valid speaks volumes about your credulity-and the value of your opinions. If you are just a liar, then your sort is the worst kind.
Your position that anyone claiming to receive a vision of Jesus is a "nutter", whether they are on the internet or not. So, of what value is your opinion on this subject? If you saw a genuine testimony you wouldn't recognize it because of bias.

Anyway, when I was a Buddhist, many buddhist tell stories of their near-death experience as seeing Buddhas or Bodhisattvas. Christian sees God or Jesus. I bet the Hindus see Brahma, the Taoist see the Jade Emperor, and the Muslim sees Allah...whatever he looks like. I think it probably have more to do with how the brain works psychologically than anything supernatural.
I don't rule out that people of other faiths have genuine experiences. I'm surprised, if you're an ex-christian, that you are not aware of what my viewpoint is on this, according to scripture. That is because of demonic oppression people receive counterfeit experiences of God (or whatever) backed up with supernatural evidence. What is interesting, as I showed in those videos, that Muslims who are predisposed to see Allah, and who hate Christianity, saw visions of Jesus instead.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

I have heard that Odin is in a nursing home in Surrey...enjoying crisp linen sheets daily. 
Maybe send YHWH there and they can compare notes?

I think the TItans showed up as actors on Charmed at some point... remakably smaller than I was expecting.

Methinks you are forgetting where you are posting. Secondhand testimony from unreliable witnesses gets you no cookie here.
I've seen people "speaking in tongues," and while doing so, they had the presence of mind to keep holding the microphone to their mouths. Sorry, but there is zero evidence for your skydaddy or his junior, crossboy.

I have become an atheist yet I can still speak in tongues.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

The depths some of these idiots will go to prop up their fairy tales is truly astonishing.
If there were a god he should be ashamed of such "followers."

BLove-"I'll call that pagan's god bet and raise him a set of demons".
It's absurd that someone would actually resort to propping up the silly or supernatural with yet more silly or supernatural. How high do you have to pile the bullshit before it makes "sense"? Fucking demons...what a joke. Inserting tricksters into your mythos does not explain anything whatsoever, it only makes the water muddier. Now any reason you have to believe in your god is more than likely demonic trickery, any evidence you feel supports your god..fabricated by demons..etc etc etc.....
Good thing there is no such thing as a supernatural and incomprehensibly powerful cosmic trickster. Just a human desire to believe in such things as to avoid critical thinking (which, I'm told..is difficult).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
