I respect beliefs of all peoples, no matter what my personal feelings on the subject, i dont feel its my place to judge or not or dismiss or not any point of view.
I look at it like this....what matters is what that person took away from the experience. If whatever happened when they were "dead" inspired them to live a better life, try to help others, ect ect ect, good for them.
Bottom line is for me, at the end of the day, no one really knows 110% exactly what happened, even if the person experiencing it thinks they do. It can be debated untill the cows come home and a solid definate answer wouldnt be found.
Stories like this do give me a sense of hope, personally, that SOMTHING happens. What that somthing is, who knows?. Maybe we fall into a big bowl of chocolate. Maybe you get greeted by relatives, maybe you discover were all living in a computer somewhere. The point for me, is i dont think its the end. just the end of the beginning.
Energy cannot be destroyed. Only converted. For me, that fact is enough to have faith in something. However, to be clear, that said, i dont necesarily believe all who go on with stories like whats said above, but at the same time, they always make me think.
Id have to experience it personally to really have an opinion one way or the other, but im not really in any hurry..
