That's a Rimac. Specifically the one that Richard Hammond turned into this:
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

There are thousands of people every year who claim to have been abducted by aliens.
What evidence do they have? Personal testimonies.
Are we to believe everyone who has a personal "experience" about something?
And what about all the people of other religions who converted from another belief to one different from Christianity?
Personal "experiences" and testimonies are only of any value to those who "experienced" them and those willing to believe without further requirements (usually those already in the religion).
To the rest of us they have as much value as a chocolate sunhat.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

My question is, why then, are there testimonies of people from other faiths who say they converted due to experiences they had with Jesus? Many people for example say they were close to dying or had a traumatic disease, asked Allah or Krishna (depending on their faith) for help with no response. However, when they asked Jesus, a bright light appeared and saved them. Examples are:
>snip<
there are many more examples of these. Why is it that even in meditation, near death experiences, and dreams that many people who convert say their own deities didn't help them when they were being attacked or had issues, but Jesus did? I'm not saying there isn't a rational explanation for this (it could easily be mind trickery here) but I just wonder, why do all these stories seem to suit Christians and not other faiths? I've even used google translate to look on google in the middle east or google india to see if there are testimonies of Islamic/Hindu people seeing their deities, but I cannot find it. What is the cause for this?
First, nice C&P.
Second, do you believe in little green men? Lots of stories about them. Or do you demand a privileged position for you book?

Unsupported accusation.
