It seems to me that most if not all theists believe that their god will ultimately save them in some way - if they live according to god's word that is. Atheists have no god that can intervene and save them. They have to rely on themselves and the human (and sometimes animal and some even extra-terrestrial) world around them but understand that neither they nor those around them can be trusted 100% of the time. Is this opposite of what you just said, GB. What say you, divegeester?

Without getting into detail concerning your experience on a personal level, do you think that everyone has had (or will have before their death) such an experience?

Hi, twhitehead. It's been awhile. With respect to your comment:
"My view is that your view is quite obviously wrong...",
please spell out any errors in my point of view. Thanks. -Bob
Many of us do not 'place our ultimate confidence in someone or some thing'. That you think otherwise suggests you either think you can read the minds of every human being on the planet, or you think your claim is some fundamental aspect of human nature applying to every human whether a day old baby or a clinically insane person, or a coma patient, or someone with alzheimers. As I said, if you had given it some thought, you would see that your view was quite obviously wrong.

Lest you ask who leads me, in what household I lodge.
There is no master in whose words I am bound to take an oath.
Where ever the storm forces me, there I put in as a guest.
