A question for believers.

For those who believe in the supernatural, an afterlife, etc, etc - what was the single moment you went from a skeptic, or on the fence to a full fledged believer? Or was there one single moment?

I know, I know, there are a lot of non believers out there - hell, I'm probably one of them most of the time. But this question is for believers only - which makes sense because if you don't believe you couldn't answer this question anyway.

Due to my near death out of body experience before I turned three years of age, I was always a believer in the supernatural, but NOT in deities.

@NativePortlander1970 - There is definitely a difference. Most people blanket everything, ghosts, gods, everything with the word supernatural. I'm just keeping it general for the sake of keeping it simple.

Has anyone ever tried to tell you that your out of body experience probably wasn't that at all? That it was probably a dream or something? I hear crap like that all the time.

@ReaperLinda No, even my uber extremist religious mother believes me because of what I described while outside my body, a blue light I looked into, apparently telling my Dad after my trach tube was removed that it was like looking into eternity. I saw the same blue light again when I was 8 2/3 and told my Dad about it again, which shook him up hard, he told my mother later that night while sobbing I told him the same thing after my trach tube was removed.
