Whilst the hypocrisy surrounding most if not all religions has often left me feeling breathless, for some people, religion is a source of strength and hope.
It's not my bag, but I'm not about to criticise those who believe in god.
Each to their own.

When someone, anyone, comes back from the Dead (whether it is Heaven or Hell) and has pictures, then I might believe them. Meanwhile, it is all bulltish.

Not enough. We all know images can be forged
When they produce a repeatable experiment that demonstrates this.... then I may start to believe.
All I ask for is one, just one, repeatable supernatural event.... just one. Any one. Just one. Is this asking too much.

Once a "supernatural event" becomes repeatable, it's no longer "supernatural", pretty much by definition.
