I have to say, I have been doing lots of reading/studying elsewhere on the Atheist philosophy, and it really has a beauty all its own - kind of primal in a way, and definitely celebratory of life on earth in all its forms. I am certainly coming away from this with a renewed appreciation for all the beauty and love life has to offer.
Still looking for more commentary from Atheists who have actually survived near-death experiences..... I'm curious to know if any of them begin to waver in what would have been their last moments, and how they overcame the psychological implications/impact.
