alot of primitive tribes believe they achieve enlightenment by going on religious journeys to higher plains(which most of the time is them just eating some psychadelic drug).

That's a good example. Their bodies are still here, but the mental/spiritual journey has taken them else where. Someone who is highly skilled in meditation may just not need to take drugs to disconnect themselves from the world as we know it.

True. I wish they would have done a more extensive study. I wonder what they studied while he was at the hospital? They should have given the details in the article. I say they lie detector him!

I don't think a lie detector is appropriate here. I think he truly believes that he has not eaten in this dimension for 70 years. I think understanding what he believes will give you your answer.

well they say result will come back in months but to me surviving for two weeks with out food is hardly proof, as I have fasted for a week(I did drink water). I have also heard of people that have fasted for a month or more(drinking water). But if he says he hasn't drank water in years he is definitely bsing, if the claim of not eating for 70 years isn't enough to set of your bs radar.

I think people who wear towels on their head are crazy. I think fasting is retarded too.

You and I think very differently about this. There is scientific and religious explanation for this, that do not have to be mutually exclusive. I don't believe him to be "crazy", but rather incredibly different than me. I think its very interesting, and would love to understand it from both the physiological and anthropological perspective.
 
OK people, don't rip on a religion just because your not familiar with it.

You might sit in your house thinking "Not eating for 70 years? Insane! That is ridiculous!" but some people might think the same thing about YOUR religion.. "Rising from the DEAD? The son of GOD? Ridiculous!"

Not trying to get this thread closed, but just saying, respect other religion.. just because you don't understand it doesn't make it "retarded" or "insane"
