Bob, every thread that has anything to do with God and religion ends the same way. Please don't try to pretend your post was a reaction to what I said. You probably would have posted it anyway despite the fact this is supposed to be 'serious debates'. People who believe in God are always ridiculed on here, but any time someone bites back, it's condescending. I have yet to see a serious religious person on this forum ridicule and try to belittle atheists. It's just a shame that doesn't work in reverse. Last edited by Livia; 12-11-2014 at 11:39 AM. |

I merely posed the question,of why did an atheist see a vision of Jesus, as opposed to other deities or even inspirational figures from her own life. |

I suggest that the brain increased the amount of endorphines/adrenaline and/or endogenous Dimethyltryptamine which is found in very small quantities in the pineal gland. These chemicals , scientists say are responsible in part for the wild dream state and other out of body states in which hallucinations are experienced. Maybe in this womans extremely disturbed state she had these visions. And as she survived her ordeal part of her may have attributed the vision as being a sign from a Deity. This vision could have been the sign that a confirmed atheist would need in order to start believing. On the other hand, it may actually have been a vision from Christ.... .

I edited that line out purely because I am a reasonable person, didn't realise that it could be misconstrued, and did not mean to cause unnecessary offence which was not my intention. I don't know you or how many posts on these various 'religious' threads you have actually read, but you are way off the mark if you really think it is 'anybody of religion' who 'jumps on the superiority train' because - in my opinion - the polar opposite is true, and as Livia so rightly points out, it is people of faith who dare to post who are immediately berated, made to appear like 'nutters', and put on the defensive. |

the truths, jesus never claimed to be god. it was his acolytes that used his name to gain power.
Jesus never claimed to be the son of God, he said that we are ALL children of God.

Can you point me to the post where someone called you a nutter please because i dont see it i think you might have confused people who dont hold the same viewpoint as you thinking people are calling you a nutter. You need to calm down a bit and then you might stand a chance of not offending people before you have even finished making your point and pretending someone made you look like a nutter when they didnt just comes across as a bit strange. All the best to you though and have a great day. Last edited by billy123; 12-11-2014 at 12:44 PM. |

Don't get me wrong, I couldn't give a flying monkeys, because - as I said earlier, I am 1000% rock solid in my beliefs, very comfortable in my own skin, and know what I know. |

I didn't actually say that anyone had called me a 'nutter', I said 'made to appear like 'nutters'. |

The fact she recalled a picture of jesus from an image that had an effect on her as a child is of course key but isnt that supernatural I get the feeling its this lady's way of dealing with her own situation and I think we should leave it at that |

You are presuming and passing off your presumption as fact. A psychological reason for her 'vision' is just one of the potential reasons, and is - like any others - hypothesis, not irrefutable fact. So while exploring that reason in this context is perfectly valid and fulfills the brief, it is ludicrous to proffer an hypothesis as fact.

I even understood your little 'rise' about Dawkins because -to be honest - I did put his name in there through a sense of mischief. Anyway, thanks for the brief exchange. |
