The Problem with Christians

[Pat Mustard]

If your wife knew her grandfathervhad heart troubles and if it was worrying her, she would be thinking "what if he has a heart attack?"and out in the yard is a bad place to have it, away from view and away from stuff like phones if he were conscious. It's not that big of a jump to start dreaming about one's grandfather dying of a heart attack.

I wouldn't be suprised if you wife had other dreams about her grandfather dying and this is the only one your remember because of its seeming predictiveness. I remember having a dream once about moving into a house and meeting one of my fellow tennants who was a jockey and said he recently won a race. Imagine my suprise when I moved house a few days later when I did move house ant the conversation happened like I imagined. This wasn't god speaking however, I read the sports news and the race was high enough profile that it was written about, I had received some information from my mother's friend who had put me in the know about the room to rent, and the jockey's name is James, very common. Just a bunch of details I had that my subconscoiusness threw together into a lucky coincidence.

No discussion with or about Grandpa's heart as he had no known heart problems at the time of the dream. Two people having the identical dream would be exceptionally rare, especially given that they had the dreams at about the same time. To add a further level of unlikeliness that it was coincidence, the event happened about a week or so after the dreams happened. Two prophetic dreams that came true - I find it compelling

You're just projecting your conclusions onto events here. Fact of the matter is your wife and her sister would not even have to talk about something to be worried about it. Another fact is older people suffer from heart trouble as a matter of course, heart failure and cancer are the two leading causes of elderly deaths because they both result from the body giving up. Even if her grandfather never had heart trouble in his youth, his age would have significantly increased his risk, and your wife if she has any brains would know this. And finally, your basing your conclusion on two points of data, ignoring all the wrong data that has been generated by your wife and her sister's dreams over the years. Unless you can point to thousands of predicted events recorded before the fact your conclusion is simply invalid, ridiculously stupid and laughably useless.

One final thing, why did you come here to peddle your nonsense? Surely you'd realise that on an atheist forum the other users would use their critical faculties to dismantle your rubbish.
