But isn't it more bizarre that this guy thinks that the UFO sightings are evidence for the afterlife, but not the ghost sightings?

Quote:Christians react to ‘disgraceful’ Mardi Gras image: ‘Defund the event’
The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has become embroiled in a similar controversy to the one that derailed the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics.
A controversial image of a prominent drag queen pointing a spear at a person appearing to be dressed up as Jesus has drawn a furious reaction from Christians across Australia.
The Australian Christian Lobby is now calling for the event to be defunded.
“NSW taxpayers and Sydney ratepayers are being forced to fund an event that promotes debauchery, sexual fetishes, and now — religious mockery and blasphemy,” it said in a statement.
“Almost half of Australians identify with the Christian faith — the very faith that has given our society liberty, democracy, and a legacy of charity for the poor and needy.
“It is simply unacceptable for government money to go towards an event that ridicules the deeply held beliefs of millions of Australians.”
“It is disgraceful that people’s religion is being openly mocked with an individual dressed like an Aboriginal stripper pretending to spear Jesus,” Cumberland councillor Steve Christou added.
“Any other religion this would be considered a hate crime. No religion deserves to be mocked. Why is Government taxpayer money funding these festivals.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
