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.[...]
Well, let me repeat myself, then. Brain. Damage. Brains are fragile things. Is it possible, that I hit my head one day and become an imbecile, who believes in Santa and pisses himself occasionally? Sure. Does that prove existence of a god, or afterlife? Hell, no.
You look for confirmation of your irrational beliefs in things that are ridiculously easy to explain in much simpler ways. I'm sure you like the narrative of "arrogant" non believer becoming a christian and surely it's much less depressing than the reality, that someone lost some of their faculties...
I'm not looking for any kind of confirmation at all, as I explained in my post to Alex that I have no dog in this fight and neither does my faith rely on it. I'm just acknowledging how strange it is for any atheist like you (and most others here) to all of a sudden turn Christian over night, and considering the possibilities of why that would be. Just because I'm thinking out load and trying to have a discussion with you guys about it doesn't mean I'm trying to confirm anything.
Do his medical records say he suffered brain damage? Where's the proof of that?
"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."
