IMO my experience is that religions believe in the make-believe. that's why its called Faith. No proof of a god. the books are stories. in my experience it's nonsense. each to their own though. I don't discount spirituality, that religions and other beliefs contact. the division religion has played in our world is a large one.
ETA: i don't even think discussing religion on this is relevant to the case. Rest in Peace NORA
Well said. I also don’t think comparing personal experiences, i.e ...my father had this, my mother had that, my sister went wandering ....etc, etc are helpful. This is a unique case and should not be compared to others experiences.
