Theist with Questions

[Paraselene]

Trusting what people claim they see when their brains are dying is illogical.

It's like these silly coworkers of mine trusting elderly nursing home residents with bad eyesight and hopped up on medication that they're seeing supernatural things in their rooms.

I remember waking up one morning around 5 AM and seeing a little brown male figure at the foot of my bed with oval eyes and a small mouth; he was gazing at me with an evil scowl on his face. I remember thinking, "Wow, I am having a waking dream," after which, I went back to sleep.

I remember waking up one morning, and looking out my window and seeing small grey aliens scurrying arou.... oh wait, that was a movie. My bad.

I'm an ex agnostic, turned theist. I'm not a fundamentalist, actually fairly unorthodox. 

My turning point was due to people who have been clinically dead and were resuscitated, as well are recovery of terminally ill that should not have survived but did and most with very few side effects from their injury or illness. 

I'm not here to sway opinions but to hear different beliefs and ask questions. 

I'm always interested in talking to people that have had near death experiences, and especially if they were considered clinically dead.

It's reasonably well documented that you can have an NDE without ever being ND. That either means that god allmighty can't tell the difference between heart burn and heart attack or that all you're looking at are the hallucinations of a panicked brain.

Theist with Questions but I can't see one question mark.

Carl Sagan once posited the idea that NDEs are really just a sense-memory of the experience of being born.

Carl Sagan was wrong and he had no proof of his opinion.

He probably was wrong, and he would probably have agreed that he had no proof. 

Sagan did speculation, he did poetic prose, and he did science.  I have never been confused from his writings as to which was which.
