< There are approximately 474,000,000 Web Page results about God. (You can look it up.) < There are also 85,600,00 postings about God on Google as well as another 3,610,000 different postings to Google Groups. < I hate to say this but every single one of them is wrong. < You see, God isn't like your typical trillionaire, his Nose held high and making more money the only thing on His mind. < Actually, He is really down to earth and a pretty nice Guy. < Hell -- please excuse the language -- He's given you so much. He's given you a physical existence and a plethora of wonderful things that allow you to exist. < It's amazing, really, that He takes in stride that so many people claim He doesn't exist, that we -- all of us -- have come along by pure chance despite the astronomical odds against it. < Consequently, I often wonder why HE doesn't throw more darts -- lightning strikes -- at His critics, with their heads constanty up their ass. < The only resonable answer, I would think, is that -- among His many attributes -- He has awfully tough skin. < Once upon a time a poster to talk.origins sarcastically wrote that I -- Ed Conrad -- had skin "thicker than a concrete rhinoceros." < I'm pretty sure, in God's case, it's even thicker. < The only living person I know who has met God and conversed with Him is David Fellin, one of the two coal miners who were entombed 14 days during a cave-in near Hazleton, Pa., in August 1963. < By now you should well remember the story when, after a few days and all hope was gone. Pope John XXIII -- who died 10 weeks before the cave-in -- appeared to both men at the same time and remained with them until Hank Throne, then Fellin, were raised to the surface through a borehole. < It was while entombed -- before contact was made with the miners -- that Fellin had many out-of-body experiences. < One was being aboard Columbus' ship en route to discovering America, testifying later that good ol' Chris was using a compass. < Another was watching the Egyptian pyramds being constructed, expaining that not a single multi-ton rock was hauled to the site but, instead, the blocks were made from what appeared to be cement right where they are today. < Fellin also revealed -- years before the Hubble -- that there are more stars and planets in the universe "than there are grains of sand on all of the beaches of the world." < He also testified that he knew for a fact that there are human beings like us scattered throughout the seen and unseen universe -- and added, like icing on the cake, that he actually traveled to one of these planets and saw for himself that it contained human life. < As for his conversations with our God, Fellin said He is normal in every way except that he couldn't see His face because it was shrouded in darkness. < "Pop," Fellin said he asked Him (always calling him Pop). "Why can't I see Your Face?" < He said God told that by revealing HIs face, it would stereotype Him, and He wanted it known that He can enter the soul of anyone at any time -- a prince or a pauper. < Our God also told Fellin that He is a member of a family of Gods who lives in a physical form on a planet countless light years from earth and each God is responsible for a section of the unfathomable universe, < He expained to Fellin that His physical body has its limitations but he can conquer time and distance by traveling as a spirit, taking only a split-second to be where HE wants to be. < He also revealed that He doesn't judge us when we die -- as we depart our physical existence for another destination -- but emphasing that we're judged by our contemporaries while we were on earth. < No one burns in a place called hell, Fellin had learned. The punishment is being ostracized by friends and family for the evil deeds we had done against them -- especially behind their back -- while in the physical realm. < Fellin was asked how He felt being in God's company and his answer was much more than we can ever wish. < "I loved my own father with my whole heart," he told me. "Being in the company of God gave me that very same feeling." < ============= < DEATH DOES NOT EXIST http://www.edconrad.com/pics/Miracle.jpg http://edconrad.com/lifeafterdeath < MAN AS OLD AS COAL http://www.edconrad.com < ============= < < GO AND SIN NO MORE < The following have Twittered to say that their lives have changed because of this posting and promise never again TO eat meat on Friday. < Ann "Douche Bag" Coulter Richard Dawkins Sarah Palin Queen Elizabeth Lady Gaga Sonia of Operation Repo General Motors Gen.
