How do you know that you have heard of near death experiences. Couldn't your memory be deceiving you?

Near death experiences prove nothing, they could be manifestations of the brain shutting down and probably are nothing more than that.

HOW DO YOU [b]KNOW YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE RIGHT RELIGION? WHAT IF YOU HAVE DAMNED YOURSELF BY WORSHIPPING THE WRONG GOD?[/b]
I have given you the answer by asking you a few questions. But since you missed it I'll spell it out for you. There are hundreds of prophecies made by many different people from different countries at different times about one person. You can read about them in the Bible. This cannot be found in any other religion. Therefore I *know* that my God, the God of the Bible is the only True one.

Given your predilection for horrendous spelling, I can't say I'm surprised that you "spelling it out for me" leaves me entirely unimpressed.
As for your prideful claim that "hundreds of prophecies made by many different people from different countries at different times about one person", it is an utter disappointment. I'm assuming the "one person" to which you refer is Jesus. Sorry to tell you this, dj2...he never existed, so the "prophecies" are false. Better take another look at Islam or Judaism....time's running out!

How do you know this?
Well, I could begin with the amalgamtion/monomyth proposition, or move on to things like Eusebius' forgery of Josephus. But it's a "faith thing". Heretics like you couldn't possibly understand. ;^P
