> [@Czarcasm](#): > > If he says that atheists are right about there being no gods _and_ that gods exist, he means exactly that. I had a college girlfriend who claimed to believe the same thing. All belief systems were valid to her, even when they contradicted each other. One argument that I remember had me screaming “how can a thing be both blue and not blue at the same time!?” while she smiled and quietly stated “it just can.” It was infuriating to a young man still wrestling his way out from under the yoke of a Christian upbringing. I concluded that she wasn’t interested in logic or religion or any kind of inquiry into the nature of the world. Not that she wasn’t intelligent, she just had no interest in that sort of knowledge. She just liked to tweak the beards of stuffy people like me who insist on questioning everything. In a way it was a refreshing, take anything that comes and ignore it, philosophy. ---

Well, then the best response to lekatt (if you must respond at all) is a shrug and a “whatever”, as opposed to getting angry, insulting, and banned. At least with a college girlfriend, I assume you can have sex with her. That might be worth some displays of aggravation. ---

And here we get to my main problem with **lekatt’s** “expertise” when it comes to NDE’s, because here is _his_: > [@lekatt](#): > > I had a bad day. I was depressed about my health, business and everything else that came to mind so I went to bed early, thinking the sleep would help me forget. I was wrong. > About 2:00 a.m. I awoke feeling very strange. I couldn’t see anything, but felt an energy or electric-like current running all through me. Also felt someone close to my right shoulder. I thought this was my wife, but soon determined the bed, with my wife in it, was far below me, and to my left. Wanting to find out who this presence was at my shoulder I tried to turn around. A voice said: “Please go back to sleep.” It was a male voice that seemed to originate within my thoughts or mind. > I wasn’t afraid, and I still wanted to know what was happening, so, I tried to turn again. The voice said: “Do you wish to continue here or would you like to go on?” After considering this question only a few seconds, I replied: “I want to continue, of course.” My reply was given as a thought. > > As soon as I had answered, the energy surrounding me began to grow in intensity. The stronger it became the more I felt loved and supported by it. I became aware of (or remembered) my spiritual nature, and also, my purpose for being here. (I felt as if I had always known these things, but had somehow forgotten them.) I further knew that all people share this love and support. That everyone is held safe and secure and loved unconditionally by the Creator. > > The intense energy lasted about 15 minutes (estimate). During this time, I felt total love, support, belonging, and an expanded knowledge of many things. I never wanted to leave this beautiful state of being; but finally the energy subsided and the voice said: “Please go back to sleep.” In the next moment, I was back in bed, with my wife next to me. No “brilliant Socratic reasoning” needed to point out the problem here, I think. ---

You have to use the Infinite Improbability Drive to transport yourself inside your brain. There is a black orb floating about. That’s your common sense. You need to remove it. At least that’s how you get “tea” and “no tea” at the same time. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > And here we get to my main problem with **lekatt’s** “expertise” when it comes to NDE’s, because here is _his_:No “brilliant Socratic reasoning” needed to point out the problem here, I think. Last night I dreamt I was visiting my run-down and vacant former house\*, which I still owned. I went down into the basement and called out for my cat who died 7 years ago. He appeared and ran over to me, where we embraced. _Someone_ (unseen in the dream) asked me why I kept going back to that place. I said “Because even though he’s dead, I get to see him again”. I would never confuse that with an NDE. - IRL, house is neither of those things and is owned by someone else now.
