That was the extent of his beneficial involvement with me. I literally never had a conversation with the man, ever.

Atheists and "Oh sh*t" mouments.
|
I once fainted in a pub when I stood up from my barstool and fell backwards knocking the back of my head on the floor. Immediately afterwards I vomited. Someone there called for an ambulance and I stayed at the hospital for 12 hour observation to check for a possible concussion. Afterwards I just went home.
I don't remember fainting, or the leadup to it, but that is what I've been told happened. Luckily, my backside took the blow from falling, so I didn't get a concussion. Reason I fainted was probably a mix of dehydration, too many beers (3 liters over the course of some 5 hours) & standing up too quick.

I don't know what would be worse, seeing it coming, or not remembering it and being told by others what happened afterwards.
I was blown up at 17.
And what the hell is a ‘moument’? Boru

As a person having a hole in their memory from a car accident, I feel little pain from not knowing what happened at all. I think remembering would have been far more traumatic.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

For me, probably at least half a dozen times while surfing.
Multiple wave hold downs on big days are a pretty regular occurrence. And then, finally making it to the surface, only to find a foot of sea foam that has to be cleared before taking a breath. And Neptune help you if you forget to clear it. Caught in a whirlpool against the cliffs at an obscure surf spot on Kauai. Couldn't break free, and was quickly fatiguing. Some freak side wave came and pretty much ejected me onto the rocks. Where I still had to scale a very steep cliff to get back to my car. Driving back to LA at 3:00 in the morning from a surf trip in the Big Sur area. Almost no sleep, all the while having lack of sleep hallucinations. A shadow would fall across my windshield, and I would think there was a tree right in the middle of Highway 1. I finally pulled over in Santa Barbara county to sleep on the side of the road. To this day, I can't believe I did not wreck us, or drive into oncoming traffic. You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
Hanging by one ice axe over a 300 foot drop thinking "how much is this going to hurt?" and "why did I not bother with a rope?"
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
