<How do you know with such utter certainty the man wasn't in heaven with the angels after he died?> Hi Michael. That's easy, because he was at a Leprechaun party at the bottom of our garden; it's all elves, no angles, saxons or angels there. Before that, he went to live with Santa at the North Pole for a while. It's all magic and anyone can make up any story about anything. But because a story can be made up, doesn't make it true. Competing frauds make up competing stories to try to get power, money, girls and status. They usually give heresy trials, curses, jihad, crusades and pogroms against any competing brands. That's the nature of territorial primates and other social mammals. I know the angels story isn't true because it conflicts with any facts I've observed to be true about how reality works. Fantasy, dreams and imagination are different worlds where anything goes and can be fun. People who can't distinguish between purely internal ideas and external reality are considered psychotic and are gaoled and medicated if they carry out dangerous actions under their fantasy beliefs. Some story-teller made up that angels story. Anyone can make up stories. That doesn't make them true. It's usually males who make up the stories if you take a count. Do you sometimes wonder why it's males and not females who get the revelations, form the superstitious gangs, lead the rites, get the money and the girls? The female role in these tribal groups is to anoint and generally be a compliant female, and preferably nubile, luscious and sexually available. Witches get burned at the stake. I dare say the witches are those who don't fit the preferred mode. It's all about sex, money, power and tribalism. Keeping superstitious fantasies out of politics is a good idea and is one of the basic constitutional ideas of the USA, which has been highly successful compared with the All Hail Allah societies where the priests run the show.
