Josef L., U.S., asks,
Dear CMI,
I’m not really sure how to ask this question, but lately I’ve been thinking of the atheist’s position that when we die, it’s all over.
I’ll confess if there is one thing that sort of makes me doubt my faith, it’s comas or near-death experiences (I do not mean the light at the end of the tunnel type of stuff), such as when people are in a coma or are clinically dead but come back, they often say nothing happened. Also, I think about people who suffer brain trauma and their personalities change. It makes it seem like our consciousness is a function of our physical bodies.
