[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother had a NDE very much like the one described in Lancet following a car accident. She vividly remembers looking down on her body as the ER staff tended to her. She didn't feel any fear, or any deep desire to "live" - just peacefulness.

[b]50 years later, she isn't remotely religious[/b]. But she is much less worried about death.[/quote]This surprises me.  I would think after a NDE it would bring a person closer to belief.[/quote]
A few months ago I collapsed unconscious.  A friend who was with me at the time says he could detect no breathing.  But an EMS team got me to the ER and somehow I'm still here.  But it does not make me any more of a believer.  For example, shortly after my close call, I heard abut a teen age girl who collapsed after a race and could not be resuscitated -- saving an old guy like me and letting a kid at the beginning of life die is not the kind of choice that would make me believe that a benevolent God was responsible.

There is much that I don't understand and I can't even try to explain.  I have no quarrel with those find an explanation in the Bible, the Koran, or just their own conception of God.  For me, "I don't know" is good enough.[/quote]

I think the notion that God only allows good things to happen goes against any plan God might have. I trust that God has a plan. [/quote]

Sounds like you know a lot about god's plan.  Where did you get the knowledge and how do you know it's trustworthy?[/quote]
