[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Hospice Minister and watch people die almost every day.  The things they see and hear sometimes take my breath away. I do not believe in the existence of evil entities. I absolutely believe dying people see loved ones who transitioned before them, angels, and often even God. [/quote]

Do they all see things like that, or only the ones who believe in the afterlife? (assuming not all  of your patients do)[/quote]

They don't all have that experience.   Or if they do, many are unable to express it when they are nearing death.  I haven't seen any connection at all between religious belief and experiences during the dying process.  Atheists, Christians, Buddhist, etc. all see or hear similar things, at least in my experience. I think it's interesting that so many people perceive a female God presence near death.  Even evangelical Christians who always viewed God as male often use female pronouns when describing God when they are nearing death. [/quote]

Wow.  That's amazing.  At a feminist conference I went to they were talking about how God is female, and about how women are the life givers to the universe.  So how could the ultimate life giver be male, and made a male first, and then made a female?  It had never really clicked for me before and then I was just like- wow!  Wouldn't the creation story that makes the most sense, be God giving birth to the world? [/quote]
