Near death experience of Howard Storm

[scoobysnack]

Well, it's an interesting story but nothing that really jumps off the page to me.  Maybe I'm just desensitized, having grown up in religion.  I've known people who claimed that they were visited by angels and Jesus himself while they were fully conscious.  I've also known people, who I think are sincere, who have claimed to have dreams or "visions" along these same lines that were just as vivid and made no less of an impression on them.  Honestly, I learned to dismiss most of these experiences even back when I was still a believer.

Hey Old Baby,

I'm not here to push anything on anyone, only provide information i've come across to share. Thank you for reading through the testimonial! I hope you continue to research near death experiences though, because personally I believe they can be beneficial. One story I will share came from my aunt. She went to my highschool. After a dance, her date took her out to the field behind the gym, and through her on the ground and started to rape her. She told me she started to pray to Jesus, and suddenly he stopped, looked up and behind her and ran away. She had no idea what happened but went home afterwards. The next day she asked him what happened, and he said a giant man in white light was standing behind her and scared him away.

There are many other experiences to research of atheists, here:

The only thing we all desire is the truth. The hard part is getting to that, since perceived truth is so hard to come by. Is there an ultimate truth? I think so personally, and that's what I'm after. That's what this forum is all about, trying to find absolute truth. In my opinion, researching countless near death experiences will form a better idea of what that is.

Either way, I'd be interesting in hearing your perspective, and talking further.

I'm always really skeptical of people's personal supernatural experiences, especially NDEs. Nonetheless, this was a very interesting read and I enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing, and welcome to the forums.

Thanks Catholic lady for reading the story! I grew up Catholic, and still identify as Christian, although have met a lot of resistance from researching NDEs. To me it's surprising that Christians don't take NDEs seriously, and I have heard that lucifer can show himself as a spirit of light to deceive those who have had NDEs. Not saying it's not possible, as anything is possible, but for me looking at the atheists who start to believe in God is evidence that there is more to the story. I'd be curious to hear more from you though.
