This man Died And Returned (Plane Accident)

Oephi, just btw the money that goes to the churches goes to orphanages as such like places where your parents dumped you. If it wasn't for the generous you wouldn't be alive and or you would be paying allot of extra taxes.

I beleive in god 100% and I realy honestly do not care what you think of me.

As for mentioning "black people".
Who mentioned right or wrong? You did. I never said there was anything correct or incorrect. Truth being, if everyone killed black people like they kill cows to make my hamburger, who knows if it would be justifiable?

You can always bring a horrific situation, but they have no context to relevance.

There is also nothing wrong to be part of the one billion people that think they are right, and thus think that they should tell other people how right they are.

How is it irrelevant to make a comparison between two human situations,one we are discussing, where ignorance plays the key role?

How about he was never dead and its a publicity stunt?

It was a good video.

Yup Lmao. Well I Don't know, it seems kind of fake. =[
Im Christian, but I Don't really know.

There is no ignorance in religion.

Yes, it is ignorant to hold onto formalities, ignorant to dissaprove in rationalized opinion, ignorant to believe that your religion is superior to others (Atheism being a religion). In the end, there is no ignorance in whether or not you believe in "God/gods/divine being".

Simply put, we have two kinds of people. Those that "think" they have the answers, and those that don't.

What am I? Agnostic. But, I'll tell you, I'd rather have been educated that death is a timeless orgasm. No, I don't think I'm going to hell, but I don't blame those who hold onto strong beliefs.

Edit:
Since I see so many flames, I have created a few questions. Some for the religious(mostly Christian), some for the atheist.

1. If God made us all, why didn't he make us all believe in him? What makes you think, that your religious text, dating millenias after the first religious texts, are superior? I see no claims that a God/gods has ever written a holy text, the best argument of faith is that everyone who wrote it was influenced by the holy spirit. However, nothing stops me from taking Harry Potter, taking off the front page, calling it "The Holy Bible", and preaching about it in Africa.

2. What is the purpose of our essential existence? To reproduce until we no longer can? Be honest, would you be happier to have been educated "knowing" all the answers, never having to wonder what will happen to you 60 years down the line, as you sit on your death bed?

Only strong Atheism, the stance that a God definitely does not exist, is irrational. Then again, it is as irrational as stating that Santa Claus does not exist.

Existence is enjoyable. Most humans inherently do not wish to die, and find even a neutral life to be worthwhile.

Hmm.. i personally dont believe it, the guy might dreamt

Yeah. Lots of people thought that too. I'm kind of thinking it's fake, or he was in a coma, in a dream or something. Not sure =\

 

[reddogwwa]

3:10 he says he suffered brain injuries. That explains his story haha, I have respect for what he went threw with the plane crash and everything. BUTTTT I can't say I believe the story, as much as I would like to. I cant =(


Nice find though

 

[texaspaid]

in the video, he mentioned his injury's were Brain Injury. I highly doubt this is real, the flames probably tore the parachute apart.

do you suggest god saved him? I m not trying to be offensive towards christians, I am just saying its very unlikely

 

[Cool Dog]

Interesting... God does not exist tho, so I don't really know how to explain this >.>

 

[varrasbelve]

What makes this man so different from everyone else god makes him return to earth? Supposedly he wasn't the best person someone can be right? Why would god, out of all people choose him?
All in all I don't think its fake, it just isn't the work of god.

 

[teh Master]

It seemed a bit Cleche to me. I doubt it's true. That whole thing would take about 5 minutes of thinking to do. :|

 

[Jordancagney]

I was never a very holy person
but this has changed my views somehow..

 

[thequestionmark]

Only strong Atheism, the stance that a God definitely does not exist, is irrational.

Saying that weak beliefs constitute more rationality... well. It just means if your wrong, your less fucked. That's about it.

I'd agree. Existance is enoyable. But the average 76 years of it doesn't appeal too good to most people. Thus the popularity of religion.

To respond to my previous post, I now see a contradiction to myself. However, it is irrelevant. Just because people slip in shower and die, it doesn't mean you shoudn't shower. Pulling a situation highly improbable does not strengthen argumen.t

No one knows what the purpose of our existence is, and honestly I don't really care. Yes it would be great to know but to be honest, I care more about the stuff that is going on right now in the present time. Yes it would be great if I "knew" all the answers, but as we have seen through history, this simple method could not blanket man's curiosity, which led him to explore, study the heavens, and think. Yes it would be great, but humanity is becoming increasingly intelligent, too intelligent to simply believe that they know all the answers.

And 60 years down the line, I would be much happier knowing that I am not going to burn forever in a firepit.

Not necessarily. It is possible that a God exists who rewards skeptics.
