Religious Views?

[Dr. Briggs]

Your right. It is pounded into your brain from birth. I mean, if you had never heard of the light, or GOD, with a near death experience, would you still see the light? exdev: But what has ALWAYS turned me against big religions, for example, such as Christianity, is this:

They ALWAYS have a positive excuse for anything. If their mom dies of cancer, God had bigger plans for her. But if she beats cancer, God was with her that day.

Never understood that personally...

Well it kind of makes sense in a world where God is in control, unless the devil or human frailty corrupted things.... Besides it just sounds better in a solemn moment not to blame physical or human error, more peaceful in a way.

I dunno about the near-death experience, I believe God may simply appear to people in the way that would be most comforting and familiar to them . Anyhow, I couldn't say for sure considering I haven't had a truly near-death experience...

I haven't really had anything pounded into my brain from birth either, I am most familiar with the Christian religion though it wasn't actively taught to me... Other than that I was basically raised on "homogenus TV faith": forces of light, forces of dark, grim reaper and such XD
