please re read my previous posts. I stated that I believe there is a "higher power". since I took the time to study the historic definition of the word "God", I refuse to use the word "God" anymore.

and, the next post concerns the experience of having one's heart STOP for a period of time. even if you or I were sitting in the ER and actually WITNESSED someone dying and then coming back and telling their stories, it would be a second hand event. what I am saying is unless and until it happens to YOU personally, neither you nor I will know for sure what dying is really like.
