Question about death to Atheists.
#11
RE: Question about death to Atheists.
A woman going through a traumatic experience has a vision that comforts her. I'm not sure what about that is even worth addressing.

Your mom has a "strange feeling" before she finds out someone dies. Again, I'm not sure what there is to address.

The human brain is highly flawed and not actually that good at parsing reality. We can't even trust our memories. They fade over time, and the brain pieces them back together with false bits of information. Hell, just through the power of suggestion you can make people think they've experienced something they haven't. All of this "supernatural" stuff is to be expected with brains like ours.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
