Would you WANT this story to be real?
Would it make you happy if it were? Or would you still hate the idea of God and afterlife even after reading this story which paints God and the afterlife in such a positive light?
Would you rather it all be a farce, and that we all just die when we die and there is no loving God?
I don't hate the idea of God. I don't hate the idea of an afterlife. I just don't find them credible. I hate the idea of children being born with birth defects, but it doesn't make any sense to not believe in something even if I did hate it, if that's what is actually happening. The reason I don't believe NDE's actually involve people leaving their bodies is that there is evidence against that being the case and only stories to say otherwise. I don't believe the NDE claims because I'm a skeptic, not because I'm an atheist.
If, say, ghosts were proven to be a real phenomena and actually spirits, I would re-evaluate all my positions concerning the paranormal and supernatural.
Realizing that 'what I would rather' has absolutely no bearing on what is, is an important reason for me being a skeptic. I don't see how 'just dying' makes 'it all a farce'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
