Heaven is Real

RE: Heaven is Real
I've been wanting to read that book for a while now, just for a laugh- y'know? But I'm afraid someone will catch me... I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about me. Tongue

I saw some documentary on NDEs a while back. It's kind of interesting the level of certainty some people have that they were real.
This one in particular seems like straight up marketing BS though. They didn't even get the full story out of the kid when it allegedly happened. It took years.

Years of coaxing and leading questions.

Atwater Wrote:The International Association for Near-Death Studies sent out a questionnaire in 1992 inquiring about those who considered themselves to be near-death experiencers. How close had they been to physical death when their episode occurred? ... 37 percent had theirs in a setting unrelated to anything that could be construed as life threatening. ... The 37 percenters claimed to have experiences every bit as real, involved, and life-changing as those that happened to people during death or close-brush-with-death crises; and their reports duplicate or parallel the same spread of scenario types and a pattern of psychological and physiological aftereffects.

Immediately thought of this:

Quote:Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
with a broken heart
He said-
Turn me around and
take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind-
"Are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times

I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.
