Question about death to Atheists.
#3
RE: Question about death to Atheists.
As someone who has worked in A&Es and other facilities, and have sat with people while they were dying, I can tell you that neither I, nor any colleagues I have worked with have ever encountered such a phenomenon.

It's easy, even for someone who has never encountered it before, to know when someone has died. Yes, there are cases of mistakes being made, but usually death is plain. I would put this down to a dream or, perhaps, wishful thinking. There is no medical or scientific evidence that I'm aware of to back up such "visions".

To the other, I can't say. I have experienced such a thing personally before (last year when my favourite cousin died). I can't explain it but I won't accept that it has a supernatural origin without support for that claim.

Even if it is supernatural, that doesn't prove any particular god or religion.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"
