I mostly believed Christianity briefly recently... you know what hurt the most?

Thanks for all the great posts!

Just to clear up my position quickly...

I was a Roman Catholic from day zero (christened, Christian parents, RC school, etc) until about 16/17 when I pretty much became an agnostic atheist and learned a lot about science and evolution. At about 21 I was curious about Taoism, but that pretty much faded away by perhaps 23. So, from 17-27 I've been agnostic atheist.

Recently, the NDEs I heard about shook me a bit, and that's what caused my perhaps week long brief return into a predominantly Christian way of thinking because they had largely won me over very temporarily (because I was scared of Hell, mostly, and because it provided interesting "evidence").

I agree with people who say that it's very hard to accept that God is loving and that Heaven is perfect when tons of your loved ones will be burning in Hell for eternity, and also when ANYONE will be within this framework burning in Hell for eternity. I personally don't believe anyone could ever deserve that.

Tell you what, I'll link you guys to the main video that shook this fear into me - you probably don't need to watch the whole thing to get most of the impact, but... yeah, whatever you want to do with it is up to you, I can't wait to hear your opinions hehe






This was also an interesting one for me at the time:





Again, it's long, don't feel it's necessary to watch the entire thing to understand it but you can if you want to
