Guess every Jew and Atheist back then who mentiond Jesus and how he was somehow had powers somewhat of this world were hallucinating. Religion is not a product of human imagination please remember that!

Saying that God exists is equivalent to saying that a pink unicorn with rainbow feathers exists. I can't disprove the notion that a pink unicorn exists because I never seen one. However, people question that notion. The same thing applies to God or gods depending on the religion.

Also, the Jesus you're referring to is the Biblical Jesus and the Bible is a fictional story written by mutliple people. It's poorly written and has a lot of contradictions. The actual Jesus was a Jew who acted against the Roman Empire because of their discrimmination against the Jews. Here is one of Reza Aslan's interviews on his book, "Zealot": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKc2kjgo7dU

TL;DR: Religion is a product of human imagination. Say "nuh-uh" or the like doesn't change that. I apologize for breaking the bad news.

You honestly think, that I have never taught that God could be non-existant just like your pink unicorn which you placed as an example. I only follow christianty since I want to believe in my life that when death happeans ( You know the phase of life which happeans to everyone non-believers and believers ) life won't competly end there I will got to heaven or hell . I don't know what your belief is though I expect you are an atheist, so here is my question,  what will happean after you die, doesn't the prospect scare you of dying /

When I die, it's basically like the lights going out. That's it. It'll happen to you, too. No exceptions. There is no heaven, no hell, no afterlife, no reincarnation. None of that. Your conciousness will cease to exist, your body decomposes, and if your body is buried, your body will once again become one with earth. The flora and fauna will dine on your corpse just like we have dined on the flora and fauna. I will say though, that your mind does go into a "Nirvana" before you finally die. Pretty cool stuff.

I'm a Christian and I honestly think that's kind of a sad reason to believe in God. There's really a lot more reasons than that. Well at least you aren't blinded by "science" and "common sense" as they like to disguise it as.

While their are other reasons why I do believe in God, this is my main reason. Death has always scared me alot, back when I was 11-12 I even had sort of short bursts of realization of questions such as what will happean ounce you die?. I would like to hear your reasons on why you believe in God though .

So lets do an experiment puppyroach if God came down to just you and said "Hey man I exist!" You were the only one that seen him heard him and

he was gone just as fast as he came. You have no imperical scientific evidence. What would you believe?

a. You were drugged

b. You are schizophrenic

c. someone has created a holographic projections.

d. God exists.

what is your answer?

I would probably suffer some kind of mental disorder but wouldn't know it because I was suffering from it. But yeah, that would be the most probable explanation. However, if we somehow could prove the existence of a god, wouldn't that god become part of science and no longer supernatural?

84 percent of the human population is religious. Is there a growing mental disorder in humans?

No, there are people who actually follow their religion the right way rather than being a "Biblical megaphone" or the equivalent. Huge portion of that 84% are pretenders as seen from the Evangaliecals in the US to the Jihadists in the Middle East. Buddhists, however, are among the most respectable religion practitioners in the world because they don't force their theology. They openly admit that it's not for everyone.

So you just said your mind goes into a Nirvana before you die. Do you have any sientific reaserch on that. Of course not, you believe that just like I believe that I will go to heaven ounce I die because believe it or not you actually want some meaning out of this life just like the rest of us.

If you read more carefully, I put Nirvana in quotes, as in it's a figure of speech. And instead of asking me to fetch information for you, why don't you instead, look for the info yourself? It's as readily available to you as it's available to me, what what's stopping you?

Anyways, this will be the last time I'll be spoonfeeding you, so here:

And most people in ancient greece believed in Zeus, even worshipped him at temples. Does that mean Zeus is real?

As far as i know, very few of these 84% actually ever experienced anything. But yes, just with anyone experiencing hallucinations, is assume there is some mental disorder or other disturbance, because that is the most probable explanation. Unless you can prove otherwise.

Thank you for "Spoonfeeding" me good Sir. That video was a complete waste of my time. It talks about how her brain power was completly shifted on her right hemisphere and how she felt at piece. What a complete load of b************. First of all if your brain decays just like the rest of your body, than how are you going to use your right hemisphere,you can't. Your brain dies ounce you die, it is obvious she was not completly dead and so somehow managed to survive. Please do not believe in this and find something else to believe in, this will not happean to you do not waste your life thinking this will happean ounce you die .

If 84% of them have regular hallucinations then yes.

If you think about it life is pretty pointless without a goal, and nothing really lasts. If we were a byproduct of sheer chance and natural selection, why would that bother us, why would we want morals or goals? Not to  mention the chances of intelligent beings coming into existance without any plan or intervention is close to zero. Most of all, the universe can't be created out of nothing and the Big Bang Theory is practically solid science now. What Hawking said once was complete bs, because gravity can't create the universe if there is no gravity! I think not fearing death is a great application of faith, but I wouldn't base my faith on that.
