The Problem with Christians

[AJW333]

And yet we put people to death on the basis of eyewitness testimony. Go figure. Clearly not all eyewitnesses are unreliable.

That would be because the system is flawed and not because of the quality of the testimony. If you could be arsed to look up the research on what Rocket posted, you would have your doubts. But you stick to your supernatural woo and find comfort in people babbling on about having witnessed it.

So what's your opinion on alien abducation? There are people swearing to have experiences it. They make a claim, so it has to be true, isn't it?

Interesting question. I regard such experiences as spiritual phenomena as opposed to actual physical experiences. Here's an interesting article on the subject from a professor of psychiatry at Harvard:

"An esteemed professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, Dr. John Mack never intended to become an expert in the controversial study of alien abductees. But after investigating over 60 cases of alien abduction through hundreds of hours of interviews and treatment, Dr. Mack now presents the mesmerizing tales of alien encounters revealed by his patients-- none of whom are mentally ill-- and the profound, surprising and at times deeply spiritual impact these experiences have has on their lives. Providing details of alien encounters never before reported or depicted on the screen, the men and women whose experiences are related here in unforgettably vivid detail are not extremists recounting dreams or hallucinations. Rather, as Dr. Mack reports, they are survivors of harrowing, real-life experiences that challenge the most basic assumptions that make up our understanding of our existence and our role in the universe." http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/668027.Abduction
