I just have to share this story with you!

My Grandfather was in Washington DC during work hours when he got a call to rush to the hospital because his daughter (very small child) was being rushed there. He jumped into a cab and instructed the driver to hurry as fast as possible and why. The cabbie began racing through DC at breakneck speed, when suddenly my Grandfather reached forward and tapped the guy to tell him there was no longer any need to hurry, the child was dead.

This story would have been no more than a curious family tale, except when the cab arrived at the hospital my uncle (who is a devout atheist, even to this day and in his eighties) had to pay the cabbie and the cabbie told the story to my uncle! When my uncle asked my Grandfather to explain the strange tale the cabbie had told him, my Grandfather told my uncle that his deceased aunt (my Grandfather's aunt!) had appeared to him in the cab to say, 'No need to hurry and fret, Ralph, she's with us now.'

I have collected several such stories from our family and a few from others, anticipating writing a book on them, but not gotten around to typing it, yet.

Get Typing! It would be great and timely!

Amazingly

STUBBORN atheism

in the face of such an experience!

That kind of fossilized, set in concrete atheism

reminds me of some perspectives on this thread.

Hmmm... he must have been suffering oxygen deprivation, too.
