Budman, I'm sorry to hear about your loss but, believe it or not, I'm happy to hear that you've gained a strong faith from it. Ordinarily in reading of your story I might shrug it off and claim it was all conincidence. I'm trying to stay away from that sort of thinking cause I know it's ignorant.

However it's still not proof enough for me to believe in the same things that you do. For all I know your perception of the entire experience (from chapel to the passing of your mother) could be biased or inaccurate in some way.

Again, I'll just end this (as I'm about to crash) by saying that truth is relative and is shaped by each individual's own perception of a situation (and perception in turn is shaped by experience). Thus it makes sense that I, living without experiencing such as you have, would percieve the world, including religion, differently from you.

Much love.
