What does God smell like?

‘Fox & Friends’ guest claims she smelled God during near-death experience

A guest on Tuesday morning’s episode of “Fox & Friends” told host Gretchen Carlson that she could actually “smell” the Christian deity figure during a near-death experience that’s since inspired her to write a book.

“What does God look like?” Carlson asked Crystal McVea, author of the new book Waking Up in Heaven: A True Story of Brokenness, Heaven, and Life Again.

“I saw an immense brightness,” McVea said, recounting the hallucinations she experienced after an accidental drug overdose given by an anesthesiologist stopped her heart. “A brightness I could feel, taste, touch, hear, smell, that infused me. Not like I had five senses, but maybe like I had 500 senses.”

And to see Gretchen Carlson showcase her interviewing skills, there is a video at the link too.

1. I bet I know what he tastes like.

[rrneck]

2. I was going to say unicorn farts. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

3. "like I had 500 senses instead of 5" ...I've totally had that acid trip.

[kdmorris]

4. Damn... I can't think of any reply better than that!!

And that looks delicious

[Curmudgeoness]

7. LMAO, that is so funny.

[trotsky]

12. LOL

Pure awesomeness.

[backscatter712]

23. Nah, he tastes like flavorless crackers.

Churches really need to serve up the Eucharist with a side of guac!

[Warren DeMontague]

27. you know, I've never sampled

that particular savior.

[Iggo]

36. Tastes like what it looks like: wet paper.

[Warren DeMontague]

37. Honestly, they lost me at "Get up early on Sunday Morning"

By the time they got to "Don't masturbate" I was long gone.

[truebrit71]

30. That is Laugh out Loud funny!!

Thanks I needed a giggle today...

[awoke_in_2003]

31. He smells of sheep...

you know, the whole lamb of god thing. Speaking of lamb of god, I thing I will cook some this weekend. Hmmmm, holy meat.

[Curmudgeoness]

5. If I woke up in heaven, smelling god,

I sure as well would not come back here! It just would not happen.

[progressoid]

8. According to her, she wanted to stay but Gawd made her come back.

I'm sure it was completely unrelated to the physicians working on her at the time.

[amuse bouche]

9. Well of course

God wanted her to come back and make all that money off a book for suckers

[Curmudgeoness]

10. Well, at least now she is one of the few

who will be living the best life possible, just to make sure she can go back. Maybe become a Mother Teresa? Right???

[ProgressiveProfessor]

6. Heavenly?

[deucemagnet]

11. New Testament or Old?

I imagine the New Testament God would be more floral and the old would be earthier.

[Kennah]

21. New Testament is Myrrh. Old Testament is Brimstone.

[Apophis]

13. Why are people so goddamn stupid?

Her hallucinations are easily explainable.

And who would be stupid enough to buy her book?

[AtheistCrusader]

39. I hope it's a scratch and sniff.

[dimbear]

14. A good wild guess would be violets. That's a smell associated with some saints. OTOH if you ask

what God likes to smell, that would be barbecue. Lots of Biblical evidence for that.

[Arugula Latte]

15. Elderberries? Oh, wait. That's your mother.

[Kennah]

22. Does that make Dad a hamster?

[Arugula Latte]

28. Yes, it's all part of the Holy Trinity.

God-Man-Hamster.

Don't think about it too much. Just have Faith.

[Kennah]

32. So are mice still the smartest creatures? Please tell me THAT has not changed.

[Arugula Latte]

34. There is an ongoing theological dispute about whether mice or gerbils are smarter.

Once they settle how many angels can dance on the head of a pin they will tackle that one.

[CrispyQ]

16. ~lol. The title made me laugh & then click.

What are lilacs.


on edit: Ok, to totally ruin a nice smelling post, remember that Carlin routine where all the farts that have ever been released will float back down to Earth, but not to the original owner.



What a jewel he was!

[AlbertCat]

18. The title made me laugh & then click.

The title of her book made me laugh.

"Brokenness"? Is that a word? It's like a high school theme paper.

[frogmarch]

17. Well, here’s how Jesus smelled,

anyway. I don’t know about the odor of his sky dad.

Snip from About His Essence:

The Company

His EssenceTM is inspired by Psalm 45:8 - "All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia..." The Bible verse refers to the garments of the Messiah when He returns. We carefully combine these fragrances and the result is a scent, which serves as a reminder of His Presence.

The Product

The first product using this formula was a 14-ounce jar candle. The original candle was manufactured by Woodbridge Candle Company in Freeman, South Dakota. Beginning in June 2006 the Acadian Candle Company of Bloomington, MN became the official developer and manufacturer for His EssencesTMcandles.

In February 2007 His EssenceTM introduced two new candle lines:

Resurrection, inspired by John 19:39-40, "Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds. Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen."

Servanthood, inspired by John 12:3, "Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume."

And there you have it.

19. The bible never mentions a shower so my guess is like a Sasquatches nut sack

If your spending 40 days and nights committing xenocide your gonna get pretty stinky, mass killing is a dirty business.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

29. LOL, my thoughts exactly!

Fomunda cheese, we used to call it.

[rexcat]

20. What the mind will do...

when hypoxia sets in. There is nothing more humorous as to what the religious looney tunes can come up with.

[defacto7]

24. People had better be careful!!

Or I may just have to bring out the Hieronymus Bosch paintings again with the birds flying out of the asses of people being eaten by the prince of hell, defecating them into a pit. Talking about smell!!!

[defacto7]

25. OK... you asked for it....

[AtheistCrusader]

40. That looks like an interesting party.

[Lil Missy]

26. Try Google Nose

[WhollyHeretic]

33. I'm guessing he's an Old Spice guy.

[Arugula Latte]

35. Manly, yes, but I like it too.

(Oh crap, I think that's Irish Spring.)

[BillE]

38. She is wrong!

He smells like pasta.

In FSM we trust.

[Arugula Latte]

44. But, with classic marinara sauce or pesto?

I'm in the traditional tomato sauce camp, the one true church. Those pesto-ites can go fuck themselves! Blasphemers!

41. What passes on Fox for "news"

What can one say? They are always pushing stories and lies and fantasies, they never bother their beautiful brains with reality.

[progressoid]

42. Hey Dan Ken

Welcome to DU and to our little den of heathens.

[Dan Ken]

43. Thanks

You folks have some interesting topics here.

[onager]
