There's no evidence proving the crimes I committed and got away with as a youth, yet I can promise you they still happened. I'm far from a perfect person, and I know that no one can claim to be. Another aspect is perception of time, which is vastly different than how we measure it in the material world. One day equaling a rotation of the earth is only relevant to those on earth.
For me the most interesting point of this story is that he considered himself an atheist and took pride in that ideology, yet somehow ended up moving away from that and turning towards something he never believed to be truth. That's what's makes this story so interesting. I'm sure some would say he's just a fool. The only guarantee in life is death. You can even get away without paying taxes, but we are all mortal, and death will come. For me I think it's interesting to know about death to learn the lessons, before it comes to me, so I can grow in knowledge.
You want so desperately to believe that you'll accept a near death story from someone who wasn't near death. The truth is no obstacle to such eagerness.
Well I wouldn't say that. I would say that I'm open to all possibilities. I guess it depends on one's perspective of near death. There are many people who were declared clinically dead and came back. In the end it all comes down to what you want to believe, since the truth will likely be different that what we all expected, including myself.
Here's another interesting video. I'd be happy to read any links you post as well by the way. Like I said, I'm open to other interpretations. All I'm posting is what I've come across so far.
To hell and back:
