Concepts of God (The nature of a \'Creator\')

> dhw: NDEs are an important factor for my agnosticism, especially when they result in patients being given information they could not otherwise have known (e.g. the recent death of a relative). You are right - they all keep their identity. However, when we have discussed this in the past, we have noted that some NDEs can be frightening and unpleasant, and they are not all “with God”. On the other hand, some patients mention being welcomed by Jesus. Does that mean Jews and Buddhists and Hindus have got it all wrong? Or do people enter a world of their own imagining? It's a fascinating and bewildering field of study.-Unpleasant is a small minority. Have no idea why. Other religions are also represented and based on the individual's religion. They also happen to atheists, as with Eben Alexander.
