Major A-hole Wrote:I believe in GOD. I believe jesus died on the cross for my sins. In march 2005 I was in the hospital for 3 days on life support. I was dead. They were going to "unplug me" the next day but I woke up. I cannot tell you that I seen heaven or hell. I cannot tell you that I seen bright pure white lights. I can tell you this; I heard a voice tell me to "wake-up" and I did. That was it. When I opened my eyes there was noone in my room. They walked by and seen me moving around trying to breathe on my own which is hard as hell to do when a machine is doing it for you. It was almost as if I was drowning trying to gasp for air but I didn't need to. They knocked me out and unhooked me and then woke me back up. Doc said there was nothin she could do besides life support. Said I would have health probs the rest of my life. Well; I will b 32 in april and have had nothing major. Sometimes my memory evades me and sometimes I get bad migraines but I am thankfull to GOD that I am still alive.
The human mind, under extreme stress, is very capable of hallucination. It's like your brain screams out and attempts to over ride the circumstances that it finds it self in. Hearing voices in and of itself is not proof of God.
People in our modern society with our modern medicine are brought back from the brink of death relatively frequently. People who are at the brink of death are by definition under extreme amounts of stress and would be ripe for their brain to scream out in protest.
If you made it, it would be natural to credit a higher power because it is something you could not comprehend. Coincidently that is the exact reason why the Bible was written in the first place. Our ancestors were attempting to explain things they could not comprehend. But again, just because you were very sick, heard a voice, and survived, is not, in and of it self is proof of God.
