Death

Actually come to think of it the size of the moon in the sky varies a LOT based on it's phase and it's proximity to the horizon.

Fun fact, the moon doesn't change size at all when it's on the horizon, that's the visual-spatial associational areas in your brain literally magnifying it in post-production for some god damned unknown reason.

Next time, hold your thumb up to a moon low on the horizon that looks large. Then hold your thumb up to a normal moon. You'll find they are pretty much the exact same size.

I'm not sure that's true, although our brain certainly does a lot of post-processing automatically. However the light from the moon or the sun is being bent by the additional atmosphere it has to pass through to reach you that vantage point. This is also why sunsets look red. However I was wrong to say this would only apply to the moon, it obviously also applies to the apparent disc of the sun.

Still, the moon and sun are different sizes in the sky, just very close. There are undoubtedly other planetary systems in the universe where this is the case, so while it may seem a miraculous coincidence to us, it's almost certainly common. We are handicapped by only having access (outside of telescopes) to our own solar system when it comes to determinig the rarity of things and events in the universe.

So... anyone ever had or known someone who has had a near death experience? What do you think happens?

I have not had a NDE but I do know for a fact that you can teleport to the same palce you go when you have a NDE by taking DMT because thats what happens when you have a NDE and we are all living in a simulation.

Now, I don't believe some bearded old man is up in the clouds governing our fates, and I don't believe he sent Jesus to Israel to save only a small fraction of humanity.

Small fraction of humanity? He was sent to save us all and showed us the way back home. He did this in how he lived and loved everyone, even those who murdered him. His life he lived and death he faced was our lesson. To show us how to live and how to not fear death. He was sent here for all of us, Not just a small niche group.

Sadly organized religion have pimped Jesus' name out and given him a bad name. He loves you and everyone else here more than words can even begin to explain.

Enjoyed that wall of text though, Lune. Thanks for sharing! NDE are pretty fascinating to read about.

Agree to disagree on that point buddy.

Truth. Organized religion in the US could have learned a lot from Jefferson and his bible. IMO the definitive text on Christ because it omits pretty much everything that wasn't the words, teachings, and actions of Christ himself.

There's nothing to disagree about. You are wrong and he is right according to the Bible which would be the only reasonable reference on the subject. Where did you learn that Jesus only came to save some?

It's pointless to debate about belief and religion. You're entitled to your beliefs on the matter.

But to answer your question, induction and my understanding of what Christ actually said and did (Jefferson's bible, which removes pretty much anything that wasn't the words and actions of Christ himself). The idea that all the uncontacted tribes and all the billions of non-Christian Asian and African people were saved because they "innately accept the idea of Christ's love in their hearts without knowing of Christ", is invented, it's an assumption, and it has no basis in anything Christ said or did.
