(112 posts)42. getting back to church, not about God but a messenger
I had not been to church in quite a long time (taking care of my father). I went to Christmas mass... I was stewing about what some Christians say about non- Christians and the afterlife. My parents did not go to church: my mother had died four years ago and my dad had passed away in September. So, I'm sitting there stewing and stewing before the start of services.
Suddenly, I don't hear anything but I get this thought in my head, so vivid it is almost like it was spoken:
"They are with HIM"
I felt such comfort, I started crying for joy.
I thought about it later, and the way it was "said". "It" almost seemed bored, like, How could you doubt????? Still gives me smiles when I think about it.

Billions of believers draw that "bright" line in a different place than you do.

Google the God Helmet. That alone pretty much refutes everything you claim.

Yes, your post was just too hillarious not to respond to. And we are laughing our butts off.
