Something to shake the very foundation of your lack of faith

[Angrboda]

Two persons caught me and took me with them. I felt tired after walking some distance; they started to drag me. My feet became useless. There was a man sitting up. He looked dreadful and was all black. He was not wearing any clothes. He said in a rage to the attendants [who brought Vasudev there]:

"I had asked you to bring Vasudev the gardener. Our garden is drying up. You have brought Vasudev the student."

When I regained consciousness, Vasudev the gardener was standing in front of me [apparently in the crowd of family and servants who had gathered around the bed of the ostensibly dead Vasudev]. He was hale and hearty. People started teasing him saying, "Now it is your turn." He seemed to sleep well in the night, but the next morning he was dead."

You're a few minutes late to the game. Jor provided incontrovertible proof that the NDE-conversion-card is the proper domain of the Hindus, not the Abrahamic folks. You need to become a Hindu and kill the Muslims in Kashmir. Or at least go ape shit when you hear about someone eating beef. Never mind that she is not a Hindu anymore. Just roll with it.

At the least, it will give Rik a buddy here.

From personal experience I can say I had an NDE. After a motorcycle accident a number of years ago my heart stopped beating for nearly two minutes ( it's how I discovered I have a weak heart). I was near death (not dead) and inthat two minutes I experienced absolutely nothing

[Angrboda]

Mangal Singh was interviewed in March, 1983, when he was 79 years old. He described his near-death experience, which occurred approximately 5 or 6 years earlier. Unlike most subjects who have near-death experiences, he was not ill at the time, or did not consider himself to be so. . . . In response to questions, Mangal said he thought he might have been sleeping at the time of the experience, but he was not sure of this.

Near-Death Experiences and Hinduism

The International Association for Near-Death Studies sent out a questionnaire in 1992 inquiring about those who considered themselves to be near-death experiencers.  How close had they been to physical death when their episode occurred? ... 37 percent had theirs in a setting unrelated to anything that could be construed as life threatening. ... The 37 percenters claimed to have experiences every bit as real, involved, and life-changing as those that happened to people during death or close-brush-with-death crises; and their reports duplicate or parallel the same spread of scenario types and a pattern of psychological and physiological aftereffects.

Oxygen deprivation?

The Russian scientist was dead fro THREE days , so oxygen deprivation has NOTHING to do with it , he was killed Friday night, and came back to his body on Monday

You'll believe absolutely anything, won't you?  You're obviously not the sort to let scruples distract you from arriving at your chosen conclusions.

what do you mean i will believe anything?

its documented for a reason because of it greatness, a miracle , and it isnt the only one, there is TONNES of such accounts

you lot will see it when you die and enter hell for eternity

enjoy your skin burned off and then recreated and burnt off again repeatedly

and enjoy being impaled in hell like a shish kebab , i promise to come and visit and laugh at you when your oh so wrong

[The Grand Nudger]

Tell me, do you hold it with your left or your right when you go fire and brimstone on us? Do you prefer to picture all of us when you do it, just a couple, or is it more of a one at a time thing..all intimate and whatnot?

It's all BS.

It is sad that you have been indoctrinated with such destructive and malicious thoughts.

 i promise to come and visit and laugh at you when your oh so wrong

Why would anyone, with an once of humanity, promise to laugh at a fellow human being tortured?

Just look how thoroughly your religious beliefs have corrupted your moral compass.
