    since he is generally incoherent and not understandable.

    Well, Tal, Seeing how I didn't understand (hence questions) your beliefs, you're wrong.


    just can't resist damning anyone who doesn't believe like they do
    Like most of your beliefs, you're wrong.
    Go away, Walter.
    Thank you for proving my point

    Athos, I know you have excluded me in your question but from the earliest I have had a belief in God. Now I was raised a catholic in what was a lapsed catholic household but very early in life I was very sick and I had a vision or a dream. I stood before the throne of God and he said to me, "Brian, you have to go back".

    I am now a Pentecostal Christian and have been for over 40 years and I have had enough experiences to know that God is very real

    Yes, I excluded Christians from my invitation. I was trying to get a feel for faiths not in the mainstream, but as can be seen, I was not very successful.

    I welcome any heartfelt expression of faith and yours is obviously heartfelt. Your experience is unusual so your story fits in that way.

    If you entertain questions, what did God look like? What did his throne look like? What did the surroundings look like? Anything else about your experience you would care to relate. Asked sincerely.

    I'm a comparative religion nut, and experiences like yours are very interesting to me. I did a long study of NDEs so any close encounter with the Deity is fascinating.

    I was describing Athos take on things.

    ask whom?
    Do you have a name for your relationship building?

    Not really just personal one on one. Never thought about it.
    You can think anything you like when it comes to God...while still not having a relationship with him.

    Do you claim to have a 'relationship" with God, a god with no name? uh, yah, okay got it.

    God's name is the great "I am" look him up. His name says it all.
