The Shire, Middle Earth. In faith shattering news out of the Vatican today, former Catholic, and Pope, Francis has announced his conversion to Islam after having a near death experience while on vacation in Hawaii last week. “I was doing what I normally do one morning, eating a big bowl of communion wafers with sugar and milk, when one of the wafers became lodged in my wind pipe and I blacked out,” the former Pope said earlier. “My man-servant, Robert Slippery Fella, luckily noticed me lying face down, and unconscious, in the bowl of wafers and performed CPR on me until I came to. I had actually been dead for a minute or so before being revived and, during that minute, I clearly felt my soul leave my body and begin to enter the gates of Heaven. What shocked me about this experience was that I did not see Jesus in Heaven awaiting me but Allah and 72 virgin brides wearing T-shirts with my picture on them. Allah had a big smile on his face and was waving his finger at me as if to say, ‘See, Pope Francis, you had it ALL wrong.’ But just as he was about to open his mouth and speak to me, I was pulled back into the land of the living by the life saving efforts of Mr. Slippery Fella. Needless to say, I have forsworn my former, and erroneous, life as a Catholic and Pope, and have converted to Islam, the one, true religion. I have also changed my name to Mohammad Ali Dolli and will be moving to Mecca at the end of next month. Goodbye for now. Assalaam-O-Alaikum.”

I had a NDE at 17, starved to the point of death, my maternal grandfather , then frail and old, rushed me to the hospital after I had collapsed. I had a wonderful happy time being dead. No pain, no worries, and so calm and wonderful. Then I was crammed back into the pain soaked body I lived in, with the pressures of the world around me. I asked the doctor in the room with people working over me why he did that, his response surprised me..He said ” everyone I have manged to save has asked me that very same question as soon as they could talk”…So that is my NDE. and I decided to try to stick around for a while.

That’s wrong! So the dead pope does an OBE and sees the Almighty to a religion that kills innocent Christians. My beef with his “revelation” is why settle for 72 cousins when he could have all of them, including lesbian virgins. Just saying.

As John has said, it would be nice to read the type of heaven Muslims go to in their NDE’s. We could then start heaven tourism either to Muslim heaven or Christian heaven, whichever shall have been properly described by the travellers.
