My father always said patients who believed in God, died peacefully, compared to those that didn't believe. They often died with fear. Probably Anne and LadyJane can add to this observation.

Believing in God gives us peace of mind. And that peace of mind is his gift to us. Those who don't believe, refuse to accept this gift. I guess it's sort of like wanting to help a child, who refuses your help. Then he has to simply learn the hard way.

I would love to listen to the debate, Lola. Please do share with us how it goes.
