What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

[He lives]

That will be all the more surprising to you as it was to Howard Storm.

No, I don't expect to be surprised at all.  At brain death, all awareness and cognition simply stops, making it impossible to be surprised.

When I'm dead I expect to be not only merely dead, but to be really most sincerely dead.

And I hate to break it to you, but Howard Storm is still alive and still shilling his silly story.  By virtue of being not dead yet he is unqualified to speak of life after death.

Thank you for your reply. At least you and Valkyrie engage in intellectual conversation unlike some of the other posters in this thread. I have always wondered why atheist are so adamant about spontaneous generation when there is no proof that it is even possible.
