I never pooh-pooh anyone's religious faith, excepting those who are using it as a fig leaf to further some other agenda.

I spent a lot of time with an elder brother before he passed away and I could hear him talking to deceased relatives, both recent and long ago. At first, I attributed this to the drugs he was on for pain. However, as death drew nearer, he asked that the drugs be stopped so he could speak with his family coherently. Even then, these experiences continued. I did a lot of reading on the subject, including a book which actually was able to calculate the weight of a soul at about 1/8th of an ounce by measuring the loss of body weight at the time of death and adjusting for air in the lungs, etc.

I came away convinced that all people have souls and possibly even do some animals.

This fascinates me. I was listening to the late nite Coast to Coast radio show one night and there was a long time hospice worker who had worked with thousands of people in their last days. He said that almost all the Cristians her worked with saw an Angel sometime during thier last days. When I told my wife about this she was shocked. She told me something she had never told anyone. When she was with her mother, days before her mother’s death, he mother pointed at the ceiling and asked my wife if she saw the angel. She then talked to the angel. My wife always thought it was the pain medication so she never repeated it. Now she’s not so sure.

Some of my in-laws, I’d just as soon not meet again. I mean, my loser brother-in-law was in the KKK and stopped talking to my husband when we joined the Catholic Church.
