Yeah - they received some brain damage, is what obviously happened. Unless - of course - they're lying, as is common practice among believers. Testimonies of those people are pretty much useless, in terms of evidence.
The world is full of crazy people, liars and frauds. I'm sure you can usually spot most of them easily. Except when they wax lyrical about your particular fantasies. Any bullsh*t seems "interesting" and "profound", when it potentially "proves" Jeezles...
I'll bet, that if some dumbass in a youtube video claimed that aliens, who secretly visit Earth are in fact coming here to learn the magical ways of christianity - you'd call it a reasonable "theory"...
Yes, and this is the thing. What you're saying here, and the way you are saying it, is very typical of a lot of atheists. Honestly, if someone like you, who says all these things and thinks all these things, all of a sudden woke up from a near death incident and changed your tune completely, saying you believe in God and Jesus now, and even became a pastor... I would think it was very very strange. It would definitely be enough to at least make me consider the possibilities that your experience was real.
I imagine the guy who this happened with was a lot like you. He is described as being very anti religion, very unbelieving, and only using the word "God" as a dirty word. It would definitely make me pause if anyone who is anything like you all of a sudden changed completely.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
