I was a mean spirited minimalist christian before my NDE. I had this view that everything America did was just and right and true and that anyone who didn't believe in my ultra conservative belief system was evil. When I died, I was called on the carpet for those beliefs...and when I returned to my body...my beliefs began to slowly shed from my being. As I reach out to Love, Love returns the favor. God's judgement was to love me soooooo much. If I am to live up to that kind of love then I must leave my hatred in the dirt. If I streach my thoughts toward not-love... there sits my old mean spirit...welcoming me back... I choose to believe in the Christ and I aspire to the life of Jesus but if it were not for my NDE, who knows what I would believe. I just can't muster the strength to hate non-christians the way I did before. Gosh, I remember saying the most awful things about people that I never knew. If any religious idea points folks away from love(God is Love) then it is coming straight out of imaginations of men and the father of murder & lies.
