Many skeptics claim heaven doesn't exist, but their disbelief does not change reality. During a blizzard one frigid December night, a Minnesota farmer was watching the TV news. When he saw sunbathers basking in 85 degree Hawaiian sunshine, he snickered to his wife, "I don't believe a place that beautiful really exists." Well, Hawaii does exist, whether he believes it or not. So does heaven.

But you can't take a plane to Heaven.
Nobody has pictures of Heaven.
If it does exist, we don't even have any testimony.
Except that my parents went to Hawaii, took pictures, sent me multiple postcards, and came back with great tans. My grandmother, who died a few years back, hasn't even bothered with a phone call since!

"Hawaii does exist, whether he believes it or not. So does heaven."
Wonderful. Using a truism to make an unverifiable claim. So brilliant...
The farmer was joking because he was cold and wished he was somewhere warmer. He could not only see it on TV, but save up to fly to Hawaii, meet someone who'd been there, eat pineapples from there, see it on a map, mail a letter there and get a response, call someone there, etc. All of which is a sight more proof than we get about heaven.
I can book a flight to Hawaii for about 1600 on average on Orbitz
When I tried to see the flights for Heaven I got "Sorry, we can't find a match. Please check the spelling and enter a city name or airport code. "
Maybe travelocity?
Well, there you go, proof positive of heavens existence. Some guy causally remarks to his wife some silly remark about not believing in the existence of Hawaii and that proves the existence of heaven. I'm convinced.
Disbelief doesn't change the facts, but you haven't produced any credible evidence SUPPORTING your contention that heaven exists.
I have a friend who lives in Hawaii. I talked to her a few days ago.
No one has ever emailed me from Heaven, though.
Many skeptics claim Middle Earth doesn't exist, but their disbelief does not change reality. During a blizzard one frigid December night, a Minnesota farmer was watching the TV news.

I am deeply offended by Rick Jones' slander against Minnesotans, not least because my family lives there.
Minnesota has given us many fine things--ludefisk, the Hump Dump, ice fishing, the lifeform once known as Prince--and should be treated with the respect it deserves.
Well, Hawaii does exist, whether he believes it or not. So does heaven.
Please PLEASE let this be a Poe.

before TV those of us originally from MN knew about that mysterious place called Hawaii... something about being bombed there and all the military coming back saying the weather was different... much like most of America if you drive a few hours either N or S... TV came LATER.
While I admit some weird people there eat fish prepared with lye, we are not that stupid. Please pick another state for your stupid comments.
Many skeptics claim heaven doesn't exist, but their disbelief does not change reality. During a blizzard one frigid December night, a Minnesota farmer was reading the Fellowship of the Ring. When he read about idle hobbits living it up in the beautiful, tranquil Shire, he snickered to his wife, "I don't believe a place that beautiful really exists." Well, the Shire does exist, whether he believes it or not. So does heaven.
@711558 for the thread win...
... Now I have this vision of being judged by Belinda Carlisle and being cast down to Sheena Easton if I am condemned..
Either that or Don Ho rose on the 3rd day and ascended back to Hawaii...
Spot the differences:
A televised transmition from an actual place
A mithological description of a supossed metaphisical place that as of yet, noone has come back from the dead to tell us about, except well, that guy two thousand years ago that is part of the very same mythology that invented heaven in the first place...
so spot the differences!!!
Minnesota!? Hah! I don't believe people live in Minnesota. How could humans survive the winter up there? Geeze, anybody dumb enough to live there would be dumb enough to vote for a guy like . . . oh, I dunno, say a guy like Jesse Ventura. Hahahahahaha - see? It can't happen here.
Oh
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
