By Tristan Ewins, published 22/12/2017

In the light of the Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse some people are claiming a general redundancy of Christianity, or even religion in general.

I agree that the death penalty is another form of murder - no matter how bad the crime ; or how despicable the person.

Dear runner, It is not amazing that I found a moral conscience since I never lost my moral conscience. Unlike you my moral conscience has nothing to do with believing in nonsense.

Dear runner, That was not a good comment on my part. My moral conscience compels me to apologise to you. I wish you well.

It never ceases to amuse me just how sophisticated the thinking of those Rightists, who want to distance Christianity from Hitler, can get in order to achieve the above stated (and rightly so, too). Yet, when it comes to falsely passing-off Nazism as some sort of a left-wing ideology, all it takes is the word "Socialist" in their name.

Apparently, Rightists have never heard of a thing called a "misnomer".

I suppose the DPRK is really democractic too, eh?

"Socialism! What does socialism really mean? If people have something to eat and their pleasures, then they have their socialism." - Adolf Hitler

In a book, Life after life, the author, a practising doctor, relates literally hundreds of patients's recollection of near death experiences, which folk, who have never ever experienced the phenomena! Write it off as hallucination!

Because it dovetails with their from nothing to nothing, belief system, regardless of the facts, be they otherwise.

I drowned as a four year old child, was apparently found face down in a small creek on the farm, and reportedly for around ten minutes, the time it took an older sibling to run to the nearest neighbour and back, for help.

During this event, I have vivid memories of feeling hungry, wondering what was for tea and peeking over my mothers shoulder, as she prepared the evening meal. A drover's pie, a version of traditional cottage pie.

You'll be pleased no doubt, to learn that I survived. And surprised Mum by accurately recounting her secret ingredients, Parmesan cheese and paprika. And still only knee high!

Two other times have I opened deaths door and taken a butchers. The last the most memorable! I've already described elsewhere.

To reiterate, folk completely bereft of eyewitness experience happily write it off as hallucination, just one possible explanation while dismissing all else!

And have no answer for the reported factual account of a young man made comatose by a severe head injury and for years.

And although never ever and any time in this life, ever exposed to any Asian culture or folk! Awoke one day. able upon awakening, to speak fluent Mandarin the most difficult and complex language.

My explanation? And the most logical and persuasive? Recalled from memory of a previous life, lived as a Mandarin speaker.

More later. Alan B.

There are numerous similar experiences . The 6 shown on google all have explanations of previous language contact in childhood or at school. The memory of 1 language over-rides the usual language. Sometimes Thorium is a repeated theme as a flashback reaction until normal service is resumed.
