Do you think this story was intended to be satire or fiction? We know you already don't really understand the concept of Biblical context....it wouldn't shock me if you misunderstood other sources.

You're absolutely correct, cupper. Sucked me in. I was thinking, "Ah, at last conclusive proof."

Boy do I feel psychologically raped and violated.

Considering how many times I have shown you to not understand your bible, that is quite a statement to make.

So, Vizio, did you click on this thread in the hope that you had some sort of "proof" you could throw at us heathens of LAD?

Made up stuff has been suckering in rubes for years. Look at the people on here who live their whole lives around one collection or another of fabrications because they make a nice story.

Don't like the idea of death? - its ok - it don't happen! - come join us, after death you'll just go to a super-special fab place where everything is just peachy and you can carry on living for ever. Its great. If you want it to be true it is.

Can you just clarify which side you are on?

No matter what side you are on, how do you account for so many shared experiences? Why are so many similar? Meeting deceased loved ones, a feeling of returning home, feeling undescribable love, life review, etc?

Sure. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that there IS life after death. What I am less sure about is what the significance or import is of NDE's . . . beyond being another form of altered consciousness. I am very familiar with altered consciousness and am convinced it connects with our reality on another level . . . but it is easily commingled with altered states driven by our unconscious. This makes the content questionable if the individual does not have the experience and skill to discriminate between what is from their unconscious and what is from reality. I hope this explains my position adequately.

I have never understood why people think coming near to an event shows them what happens after the event. Illogical as Spock would say.

Those things have been planted in our subconscious by all the claims we here and when the brain is deprived of oxygen and sense death is near it brings up those things we have stored away for that time of pre-death. Very simple. I remember hearing of a Mormon who believed he would be judged by Joseph Smith and was calling the name Joseph just before he passed. The things we have preconceived or been told to expect is brought up by the brain at the time needed.

If that Mormon believed he would be judged by Joseph Smith he didn't understand LDS beliefs and teachings.

Mormons DO NOT believe they will be judged by Joseph Smith. Nor are they told that. Just so you know.
