My question is, why then, are there testimonies of people from other faiths who say they converted due to experiences they had with Jesus? Many people for example say they were close to dying or had a traumatic disease, asked Allah or Krishna (depending on their faith) for help with no response. However, when they asked Jesus, a bright light appeared and saved them. Examples are:

there are many more examples of these. Why is it that even in meditation, near death experiences, and dreams that many people who convert say their own deities didn't help them when they were being attacked or had issues, but Jesus did? I'm not saying there isn't a rational explanation for this (it could easily be mind trickery here) but I just wonder, why do all these stories seem to suit Christians and not other faiths? I've even used google translate to look on google in the middle east or google india to see if there are testimonies of Islamic/Hindu people seeing their deities, but I cannot find it. What is the cause for this?
Ortho, you're obviously and painfully biased. There's a "story" to support everything. If you want to find stories about how real Jesus is and how fake everyone else is - you will. As will all those pagans you're so opposed to.
Let me explain to you what the terms 'work of fiction' and 'propaganda' mean.
Oh never mind. You're not going to listen anyway. Have a good life. Try not to kill any non-believers.
I don't kill, and I am biased, but aren't we all?

My money is on that. Hey look, there goes a new silver car. Or is it a silver new car? (Can't tell from this angle.)

Or perhaps they're just nauseated theists? Don't see why they can't just hold their nose so they can stick around to receive our .. uh .. blessings.
why coward? I asked the question, wanted to get some responses, more for interest. I am interested what others think/believe and why
