I agree. Unfortunately people become very dogmatic with organized religion, and it's often taken in a simplified way that humans can understand. It's scary but truthfully, there are facts about the universe that humanity does not know nor understand, isn't meant to know or understand, and likely will never know or understand.

Seeing my own mothers passing and the unexplained events that occurred towards the end of her life, I do believe my dads story and what he experienced. I have my own woo woo beliefs beyond that though, specifically that the "light" people see might be the true incomprehensible form of whatever being made this universe.
