What is so wrong with saying, "I don't know?" All these religious people do is try to fill that void with ridiculous ideas of a God.

"...I see a pulsating sphincter, something like an anus. Oh, yes, I think it's definitely an anus. It is leaking brownish fluid. It's saying Bobby, you forgot to turn the stove off... Oh, no, wait, that's just a farting noise. Anyone here have a dead relative with a large, leaking, pulsating, loud, farting anus?"

@libertarianjury HAHAHAHHAAA I laughed so hard I farted out of my large, loud, pulsating anus!

@manofawareness that doesn't mean you should just believe nonsense.

[manofawareness]

@CRISNCHIPS12398 Sure, but in embracing the idea of "not knowing", one must also allow for the possibility of scenarios that can't (yet?) be explained. Science must play by these rules, too.

@CRISNCHIPS12398

The unknown scares many people unfortunately. To me that is part of real "enlightenment", getting comfortable with not knowing things.

[ErgoProxy12345]

maybe when you die you become senile! thats why the dead speaking to cold reader don't even remember their own name well or who they were or what they did specifically in life, Then it means all spirits suffer from Alzheimer desease...must be hell!

or its simply all crap.

[mau5inaraund]

That cold reader is such a piece of shit.

@CRISNCHIPS12398 There is nothing wrong with saying that. Religious people are ignorant however I do believe in a God and and I have a relationship with Jesus. I know it gets annoying when they try to fill voids with something you're not comfortable with. There are times when I doubt. I'm not trying to force anything on you so don't take this the wrong way. The point of me commenting is to tell you it's ok to question. I'm also sorry for all those you try to help and dont realize they arent.

@billy1212ist It's called a bad dream, probably brought on by the fact that you knew your loved one was in danger. Haven't you ever woken yourself up like that before? Coincidence brought on by the situation.

I believe none of these people here.This might be possible if someone were open to it,none of these people are I feel.I slept on my sisters couch in NJ.Someone SHOOK me HARD 3 times I got up,checked,......all in the house were asleep.I called the hospital in NYC,asked the nurse to check my mom who was dying of cancer."Just checked her 10 minutes ago,she is stable" the nurse said.I said,"Well,something just shook me awake ! " OH,..OK,I'll check.She came back,your mom is dead.What was that ??
