Hmmm, well if there was such a 'SKY PILOT' and his all knowing ability to create something in his image - he thought it was such a profound idea to allow us 'FREE WILL' ...how could anything that evolved from those 200 cells that it takes to create US, be a MISTAKE ?

Of course it controls you with fear, as fear is required to believe.
If you have no fear of your god and death, you would have no reason to belief.
Religion controls and controls so well, it does not allow for people to question the belief system they believe in

I have faith in people, things that are real.
Why would I need faith in life after death?
I beleieve this is the only life we have and to enjoy it

i do not fear death, its inevitable.

But all people have faith, just in different things, you do not need to have faith in myths, as they are again based around a fear of death.
All they do is basically mislead to combat that fear, but never take away that fear because you do not come to learn to deal with the fact we are all going to die at some point]
Faith in people is what counts

I have faith. I believe in life after death, and I believe in a higher energy and different planes of existence. I've been lucky enough to have experienced first hand some inexplicable stuff that reinforces my beliefs. The most amazing thing I've seen to date, up close and personal, is transfiguration. I've never seen anything like it, and I was sceptical at the time.

I do not deny it brings comfort, but to me its a misleading comfort, and to me the comfort is about the only benefit you find from religion as againt he comfort is based around death itself. The dangeroeus flip side of this is where people believe this life is unimportant and waste their life due to their belief through the act of martydom. I mean what better way to fool people into dying is to again use fear to control people of punishments after death, that they have this get of hell free card they can play, to obatin free entry into a heaven. If they throw away their life in defense of that religion. I find that the worst form of manipulation.

I think what brings comfort is the perception of 'heaven'. The belief that we might be reunited with our loved ones who have passed. Sadly, religion often took that concept and used it to scare people.

I was in a room with other people and we all saw the same thing but from different angles. Sure, the brain can play tricks, but as my brain is not in the habit of playing tricks and I'm not the sort of person who's afraid of the dark or the unexplained, I'm not prone to 'seeing things'. But, I do know that things like that have to be experienced personally. It's not the type of thing you can ever expect folks to believe via hearsay. I'm of the mind, if I experience it first hand, I'll believe it. Otherwise, the jury's out. Having said that... I also respect other people's experiences with an open mind.

There are many aspects of the brain we simple do not understand or the fact we do not use a large proportion of its potential, or that we have not evolved yet in many cases to do so. So to me there could be a possible explanation here.

Indeed. Our brains are, they say, are only using a small percentage of its capacity. Who's to say what we might see, hear, experience, if those brains were 'opened'. How about the concept that our 3D world is actually embedded in other dimensions, tucked into a tesseract within a tesseract? How do you know there isn't someone sitting right next to you right now you can neither see, feel nor hear? How about being able to watch the atoms in a rock vibrate? Five hundred years ago it was unthinkable that the earth was round. We have to open to the undefinable and fantastic otherwise we may miss something vital.

On the subject of vibration, we all vibrate. Everything in the Universe dances.

Years ago lived in a house that was a new build. My ex was a policeman, and we lived down south. It was a police house. Place was haunted. We had a huge kitchen with a stone flagged floor. We had to listen night after night to our kitchen chairs being dragged around the floor, really slowly. First time it happened, hubby ran downstairs convinced we had a burglar. It was, of course, all locked down. In the end, we got used to it. We had no other choice. Another night, I went into the kitchen to make a drink, then five minutes later went back in and every teatowel I owned had been neatly folded and spread all over the work surfaces. About 10 of them. It was a real 'Poltergeist' moment! The kitchen seemed to be the focus. We'd find the lightbulbs lying on the stone floor, complete and intact. The front door would slam shut in the night even when it was locked. All true.

I'll agree that that is plausible, but I wasn't HOOKED up to that machine nor any machine when my sibling's spirits have come back to me - not when my grandfathers spirits have dropped in to have a chat; happens in the bright light of day, wee hours of the morning, I've been woken up out of a sound sleep - they live in a non-time warp environment so time & clocks have zero meaning to them! But yes, Ben ...we have souls & spirits that don't always just cease being because the human body has stopped being viable.

A non-exhaustive list of the things that can cause hallucinations:

* Being drunk or high, or coming down from such drugs like marijuana, LSD, cocaine (including crack), PCP, amphetamines, heroin, ketamine, and alcohol
* Delirium or dementia (visual hallucinations are most common)
* Epilepsy that involves a part of the brain called the temporal lobe (odor hallucinations are most common)
* Fever, especially in children and the older people
* Narcolepsy (disorder that causes a person to fall into periods of deep sleep)
* Mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and psychotic depression
* Sensory problem, such as blindness or deafness
* Severe illness, including liver failure, kidney failure, HIV/AIDS, and brain cancer

Noted paranormal skeptic Michael Shermer went through it himself on a marathon bike ride. Sleep deprived and exhausted, he was convinced aliens were trying to abduct him:

That makes little sense

If people have souls and you are then correct they haver them, why would not believing in this, then effect anything then happenning to the soul, if its then eternal?
You are confusing where ben is very charitable which is what can be shown to give your heart and soul meaning as if the very essensce of a soul would then be dimisinished by simple not beiving in a soul.
Again that makes no sense unless you believe in some religious dogma

How are you to state where someone is switched off, when they contiually do good?
That is not being switched off but simple not able to see what they do is based on an aspect of their soul, if we are to believe it is the soul that is influencing this. You are doing what religious people do, deciding the rules.
