"near death experience" (you know, the light at the end of the tunnel etc...)
For me, that this is the "how" of the experience - it is not the why. And much as the simple existance of the universe, the why is the subject of religion... the how? that is all physics, chemistry and biology...
Thanks, pretty good read.
Thought that some might find this interesting.... a behavioral perspective on religion may trouble some. No disrespect intended to people of religious faith.

That was a fascinating link. Apparently some people don't have the physical capacity to imagine god.
No, It is what I understood from reading the link. There is no god. There is only the human capacity to imagine god.
in fact most of the most ancient religions did. Mine included!
I know that people have imagined god and have created religions to share this imagined entity with others. I choose not to share in these experiences.
