Sure, she might have said that to you. But what's more likely - dead people can use phones to warn people about problems, or it wasn't a dead person?

Where are your arguments?

It's really not necessary to argue against things so obviously impossible as the dead making phone calls about blood sugar levels. Now, if you want us to accept this story as true, feel free to try and argue why we should, but you'll need a whole lot of evidence and I somehow suspect you don't have any.

I was raised in a Roman Catholic home and was pretty pious considering I was worrying if I was doing something immoral all the time. But now I don't really care too much about religion considering there are over 13,000 religions I think. I also have the philosophy live and let live since I beleive you voice opinion as long it doesn't harm someone.

Perhaps because that is the religion which best complements his/her own personal viewpoints?

That would tie into 'his/her own personal views', given that many personal views are shaped by childhood - like how Mormonism continues to influence me even though I am no longer a Mormon.

Humans require water to live. As he is still alive, one assumes he consumed water at some point in the last 3 years.

One's perception is not reality.


I never said it was (though, considering the closest thing a human has to reality is perception, such an argument would be complicated beyond measure, and should be left to philosophers). What I'm saying is that to him it would be the truth, regardless of whether or not that perception of reality is shared by us.

Since you refuse to even try to provide actual evidence that your story has any basis in reality, I accept your admission that you were lying.

Fine, I take your word that you didn't make it up. Now, we are left with these possibilities:
1. Your mother exaggerated a vaguely related dream.
2. Your mother made up whole thing.
3. Someone played awesome practical joke on you.

I am going with 1 or 3.

Nope, we are taking it from primary school biology.

Again, I swear on my death I am not. I invite you to my house and to listen and debate further there with me and my parents if you really want evidence.

My mother told my father about the man she saw, my father told it was my paternal great grandfather, basing on the looks.

So, we can amend possibilities:-
1. Your mother exaggerated a vaguely related dream.
2. Your mother made up whole thing.
3. Someone played awesome practical joke on you and your father misidentified.
