What is hell?

No, just keep your religion to yourself. I don't want it in my life.

But almost every chance you get, you join in on one of these threads about religion. So it seems like you purposely seek to make it part of your life.

The emotional tirades that come from you about Christianity shows that this is not a dispassionate intellectual quest for you. There is real anger and emotion in your reactions. Albert Einstein claimed that the most angry and militant atheists are usually those who had some traumatic experience with their church in their youth, and are now in severe rebellion against religion.

Agreed. Lies about their education and an obsessive compulsive to be seen as the smartest person on the thread including the consistent use of passive-aggressiveness in almost every single post.

IMO, he has issues that are a simple pain in the ass for people like you and me, but have a high probability of causing unnecessary unhappiness in his daily life.

My interest is more academic, observing the behavior of people online and being able to predict their responses, regardless of how bizarre. Obviously, it's the Bizarros that interest me most. You normal people are boring comparison. LOL

I enjoy chatting and discussion on many of your threads in this section of the forum and the Nice Thread. The other threads, including individuals like Perry PhD and Sybil on this thread, are more observational and inquisitive than intellectual fun.

JPP would keep a team of research psychiatrists busy for a decade!

Hard to understand why Daylight would go to the effort to deny being Perry the PhD, it's not like there's a law against having sock puppets. Although I think if one wants to be taken seriously they wouldn't use sock puppets and then lie about it.

Which is exactly what I explored and a primary reason for me to focus upon behaviorism in college as opposed to something like Psychology, Counseling and Guidance. Ideas like "the white light" people see is the brain being starved of oxygen or other common reports being associated with the brain shutting down. There's no scientific explanation and obviously no proof of anything beyond the natural.

As stated before, I tried for years to replicate the experience and never could do so. This included surgeries and being unintentionally knocked unconscious a few times.

Did they say anything about NDEs in the classes you took?

You can't create energy out of nothing, Sybil. You are ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics again.

Science isn't a government agency. Like you, NASA has been ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics.

Climate cannot change, Sybil. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth either. There is no such thing as a global climate.

Climate cannot change.

Climate is not the Universe. Redefinition fallacy. You are ignoring laws of physics.

Go roll the dice.

Mismash.

Sooooo much opinion presented as fact.

As always.

Since you claim to be all about science, perhaps you can explain why very humid areas have much smaller temperature swings, from night to day, when compared to desert areas, like the one where I live.

I mean, according to you, it can't possibly be the existence of a greenhouse gas like water vapor...

LOL Agreed!

Agreed on the oddity of Perry's reaction. It's just another reason why I believe he's more than a little "off".

Right backatcha pal. It IS you aggressive proselytizing we are talking about,

And there are almost no atheists who do that. The only ones I can name are Dawkins and Harris. Hitchens is gone. Meanwhile your side has so many they have MEGACHURCHES and PROSELTYZING ON THE TV EVERY WEEK. You literally have the field and you whine that atheists dare even let you know they exist.

The only thing I recollect was Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' book "On Death and Dying" but mainly the five stages of grief. Reportedly, there was a final chapter in the book dealing with NDE's but she took advice to remove it. Later she wrote more on the subject which, at the time, stretched credulity. While the psychological and physiological stages of dying can be scientifically studied, the transcendental stuff is only anecdotal.

My NDE didn't suddenly transform me into a believer. Mostly it dumbfounded me and I sought to understand it through logical, scientific means. Robert Ornstein's book, "The Psychology of Consciousness" had a greater impact upon me than Kübler-Ross'.

My philosophy classes also had a strong impact upon me. I didn't, and still don't, buy the concept of God as a king on a golden throne as taught in Christian ideology. Eastern philosophy, stripped of woo-woo, was more attractive to me. Especially Zen. It comes down to the fact, like all spirituality, NDEs are more about belief than fact with little hope of gathering facts anytime soon.

Lying is so egregious a sin it made it into the ten commandments, Perry PhD

Yes it is a sin. Which is why I find it so confusing why you constantly misrepresent other posters positions.

How many times have you started a post with "I'm glad we agree that..." and then follow it up with something you KNOW the other poster doesnt' agree with you on. Yet you do it all the time.

I suggest you read Matthew 7:3-5

It would do you some good to actually READ ABOUT THE MORALITY you supposedly think is important to our society.

Do you know what the letter "D" stands for in NDE?

When you guys are done having your little girl bitchfest about a poster who is not here, can we discuss the TOPIC? Or is that to abstruse for you two little girls?
