Things that are worthy of discussion ( such as one in this posting ) rarely get any attention.

It would be helpful if the site wasn't down...

		I didn't have a problem loading the site. Odd. Try again later or something.

Is it worthy of discussion because there is something actionable in it?

Yes.

Actionable: To Consider the significance of kindness, compassion, love to and for each other, which world, at large, is missing owing to many factors.

And to consider one's own superficiality and have profound thoughts for others.

		Why is that tied to some notion of an afterlife? If anything, it seems to me that the reality that this one life is all any of us have should make one care way more for their fragile peers, and for making it the one life they have count. As The Doors once put it, "no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn".

What is of discussion here?:

1. Restaurants should carry an anti-choking device. Too many elderly risk a stroke without it.

2. People often do have a delusion or vision just before death, one that is a product of their own brain, fitting their understanding of the world. I had an incredible vision when I had taken half an oxycodone prescribed for pain.

3. There are more ways of expressing one's belief or disbelief in god besides atheism and agnosticm. Consider "agnostic theism" which means “I believe god exists, but I do not know that with certainty”, also "agnostic atheism" which means “I don't believe in a god but also say it can’t be known.”

As for any genuine otherworldly vision, no, I don't believe that happened here.

		Beyond the usual discussions of atheism and agnosticism, some would maintain none of these positions are possible to hold because they require a prior commitment to realism about ontological questions, and the arguments for realism are uncompelling.
