OK. The bible is a story book, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to throw that out of court.

Anyhow, welcome to the forum. I'm glad you had a meaningful experience Smile I won't argue the point any more.

The bible is not fing evidence, it's an old book.

I totally agree with you. Its a book written by men thousands of years ago, i understand. I honestly despise all religious books including the Quran. But, the only valuable evidence i can give you now is found in the Bible. And its related to the event i have experienced, the same Angel i saw, Daniel gives a vivid description of the encounter.

Daniel's description brings to mind RuPaul. Perhaps it's evidence of time travel.

We understand that you believe you saw an angel. But for us to believe it actually happened, it requires evidence.

How did you know the thing was an angel anyway? No one has any record of what they look like.


This is a verse of a poem i wrote describes the Angel. 

The Angel I saw, his face shining brighter than sun;
   His beautiful wings sparkle like jewels,
His garment was whiter as snow; 
   His arms and legs glow like polished chrome

Well, I don't know about anyone else but I'm convinced.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You experienced an experience during a time when your brain was between sleep and wakefullness.
Why would you trust experience when you were booting up your consciousness?
Do you believe in the reality of all your dreams?
"But it was so REAL!" doesn't work in these cases.  You can't trust your mental state when your mental state is untrustworthy.

Quote: It is often accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (such as an intruder in the room) to which one is unable to react due to paralysis


You just interpreted your brain malfunction according to the priming you've received from religious indoctrination (e.g. Daniel)
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

I am deeply disappointed. I used to think you were cool!

I know, I'm truly repentant...
