Heaven is Real (says Doctor in a coma)

[Matthew Laramore]

One would think getting halfway into "heaven" only to be thrown out immediately would present a different message...

1) He claims his experience is proof of consciousness after death, but completely forgets he was never actually dead.

...or conscious!

Quote:2) All that experience in the "after life" and he didn't bother to mention which god is the correct one for us to be following.

Would you if that God apparently just kicked you out of heaven?
Last time I looked that wasn't the recommended m.o. to make friends.

The believers will cherry-pick this just like do with everything else in their delusion.

"What, he saw heaven? He heard music? Well, that's proof right there. Checkmate, atheists!"

"What, he got kicked out? Well, that's just because the doctors brought him back to life so it wasn't his time to go to heaven."

"What, he wasn't dead? Well, that's why he only got to see it for 7 days and couldn't stay."

"See, it's all true. I hope I die soon, I can't wait to go to heaven."

Why the hell is this on the science channel?

WHY is this on the news?! It's not like I haven't been hearing radical claims like this all of my life...Nothing new, really. I guess this guy must have woken up from his coma and immediately reached for the phone...Wth?

My sister told me about this. I have experienced magnificent hallucinations and dreams before, mostly in waking sleep. I know that these hallucinations/dreams are a product of my brain, and only a product of my brain. My sister and I had a conversation on this, mostly because she is a theist and she knows that I don't believe in any gods. She said that he was a neurologist (excuse me if I'm incorrect) so she said a scientist saw heaven. My reaction: "So what?" She said that if a scientist that studies the brain now believes, than why can't you? Me: "Well, there have been people that claim these things before." My sister then attacked with saying "science was his religion." That got me extraordinarily mad. At this point my father has come home and he is in open range of hearing me and my sister chat. She then rambles on about life being a test. The greatest moment of my life happened at this moment, I turned around and said exactly this. "If life is a test, then why isn't the test fair?" I wanted to make a bad ass move and walk away with my final quote. Then she interrupted the greatest moment and rambled on about how other people have it harder for a reason and BLAH BLAH BLAH. My next quote was pretty funny, I said "That's like giving a mentally disabled person a test on quantum physics, and giving the reincarnated Albert Einstein a test on the alphabet." Even she couldn't make a stupid remark on that.

There's a "talking" out of "ass" joke in there somewhere. But I can't be bothered.
