...then he wouldn't have been able to make such a straightforward statement about information being on the other side without batting an eye about still believing contrary to that information, would he? And being a youth pastor I have to assume his eyes remain un-batted... but perhaps I'm wrong and any day now he's going to drop that position and join the ranks of the atheists.

(In which case, he stops being a believer, and my comment as it pertains to believers remains in force)
