   Right.  That's where the stories came from, not because other nations   
   in ancient times had heard about miracles in Israel.

   True, I don't regard you as my teacher.  It's probably best if you   
   keep the stories to yourself, since I would guess that they're not   
   very convincing anyway.

   I looked for it and found just a slick website by someone who claimed   
   to be an evangelist.  Nothing about NDEs was involved.
