Why religion is invulnerable:

[MineralMan]

53. Uh, no. I have no "beliefs" about that at all.

I have no knowledge of that period of time. I don't need to create a belief to substitute for that lack of knowledge.

I have been told what the doctors did to me during that time. The result was that I lived. But I have no personal knowledge of any of that. I do remember opening my eyes at some point and seeing my mother, my wife at the time, and my wife-to-be standing at the foot of my hospital bed.

That's the first thing I remember after losing consciousness in a car in the Arizona desert. My coma lasted for four days. I also remember thinking, after seeing those three women standing there, "WTF? I can't deal with that combination right now." Then, I went back to sleep for a few more hours.

After that, I slowly recovered from my illness and resumed my life, with only about a one-month hiatus.

Had I died, I would not have posted over 100,000 times on DU, I can assure you.
