I’m to the point now where I strongly believe.
Not bad, coming from being an atheist at one time.
There is life after death; for me, there is no escaping it. Enough proof has been shown to me. No, I don’t have a repeatable experiment you God haters out there demand, a vial of of God essence you can measure and hopefully control. But then again, what should I expect from shallow thinkers like yourselves? Is it time for slap down? Let’s ask the studio audience.
Yes, I’m taunting and disrespecting you. It’s a little payback for all the bitch slapping you gave believers over the millennia. You’ve told us that God is not real, a wishful thought of ours; you’ve commandeered our Jesus fish signs on the back of our cars, putting feet on them and “Darwin” inside them, as a nice middle finger to us. You’ve had this smarmy ass attitude, and frankly, fuck you. YOU are the small-minded freak with the wishful thinking, not us. YOU are the ones that can’t think beyond the physical world, into another possible dimension – quite possibley bore out by quantum physics, I might add. It’s not that you can’t believe it – it’s because you don’t want to believe. You see an after life might mean, for you, there is a God, and well…that thought is just too frightening for you. Dumb ass.
Ok….that felt good.
I don’t believe based on the Bible – God knows NOTHING real comes out of that, right? So there, shot down your religion-based belief reason.
I have listened, on many occasions, to people who have been on the other side of life, and have come back to tell us about it – so called “Near-death experiences”.
So, before you start this crap of it being an illusion of some sort, wishful thinking for a dying brain, chemicals released in the brain to sooth a traumatized mind, save it, you’re full of it. Yes, I’ve heard of smug scientists giving drugs to subjects, or bombarding brains with strong electromagnetic fields, and supposedly have “reproduced” these near death experiences. What a friggin’ laugh. For one, they are not that similar to a real NDE, nor are people that are experiencing real NDEs – surprise, surprise – being bombarded with high electromagnetic forces or psychedelic drugs when they have their NDE! Just because they can make vaguely similar experiences in a controlled lab experiment, does not mean that this explains NDEs.
Especially when you consider the testimonials of people with NDEs.
The most dramatic of all the reports are those that include the participant being able to report what was going on in the area their body was in, despite being dead. Accurate reports of medical procedures, things being said, are not uncommon. Astonishingly, some can even report what was going on in another room, or another building – while dead. How is this otherwise explainable, other than the soul living on, outside the body?
I suppose your first come back will be these people are lying. Bull. Some of them don’t tell their story for years, or without payment. Their stories are verified by others. Doctors and nurses have seen something visible leave the body – a type of mist – at times. Is that all BS? All some vast conspiracy to fool you? Of all the NDE stories I’ve heard, I’ve NEVER heard someone come clean – that they made up a story. When they tell their story, their is no body language that indicates lying, no reason to doubt them. Moreover, not all stories are happy ones – some experience Hell and not Heaven. They are terrified, and change their lives for the better. They often say they no longer fear dying – some are even upset they came back to this reality, it was so good over “there”. Does that sound like a dying or traumatized brain to you? The same brain that usually does anything to survive?
I’ll admit, I don’t know if this means there is a God, as we understand Him traditionally; maybe “God” is just some physical force, like magnetism. But, these NDE experiences sometimes report “knowing” intuitively, that they are in the presence of a God with a mind, exuding a love that envelopes and consumes them. They report meeting relatives they never knew – a grandparent that died before they were born, of example – that is later identified by a relative on this side.
What say you, God-hating, science-loving atheist?
