Well..
That is a Very Good Question
Though of course i can Only speak of my Reasons

As a Todler i Died and was revived
Arriving at the hospital basically DOA
CPR kept me close enough to life
I dont Recal those times..
Yet it's Relevant later in my life

La5er on as a young adult
Went water skying-tuber
Became tangled in the tow rope
Stuke under the tube un able to breathe
Inhaling untold amounts of water
Suddenly i passed out ( actually drowned )
Yet..i started rising above my body
At a point i no longer could see my body..i had rissen to high
In looking up..i was within a Tunneled cloud
With a bright super white light on the far side from me

Upon Reaching the lite
It was like i was in a Greatly Fog laden field
Yet this women came before me
As i could see many figures close and futher away
I felt a knowingness or reconising yet unsure who she was
She told me...
It wasnt my time yet
That i had to return and face it
( face what exactly im unsure )
Suddenly i was Back within my body
Yet so too i was again drowning
Struggling being dragged by my friends boat..on the underside of a tube
Feeling greatly fatigued and fighting
Suddenly i heard the voice of the women i had just spoken to
Telling me..Not to Fight..that i would be perfectly alright

Then as i imediately Stopped resisting
I popped out from under the tube
Was recovered by my friend
Yet the tow rope was enbeded within and around my wrists
My friend happy i was found
Shocked in the rope enbeded in my wrists
As i undid the rope from my wrists
It left both wrists riped open..semi bloodied

My friend asked if i wanted and suggested i go to the hospital
I reied..no thanks..i just need a nights good rest
That i know..i will be Just fine

Following late mourning
My friend and another came by my house to check on me
Thinking i may still need go to emergency room
Yet..in being woken up and talking to them
My wrists were fully healed..no scaring..no scabs..just normal wrist and skin...zero pain

It is at that point
I felt like the nite before
So too as a todler..i died..but like nite before it wasnt my time

Additionally
I was nearly struck by lighning 4 times
Twice less then 2 feet from me
Third time within 6 feet of me
A 4th time 60 feet away

I have come to realise
I at times have an awareness that is Unique

So you ask
Why i Believe in GOD
Well i have a More Unique Knowledge
One that does Not Require simple Faith
Since i have seen Proof

More recently in February 2021 and again February 2022
I nearly died
Both times..i asked..though i am Fine if it is my time
Yet
I feel i can make a difference still
And with that both times i then Quickly recovered and regained my strength


Anyways
Happy New Year's
And Many more for Everyone

@TheDisciplinarian Thank you for your testamony... 😊 Lightning strike me too on more then one occasion.. I remember everything ging pure white on two occasions when lightning struck.. Once i was walking under a tree and the other time i was driving my car in traffic.. I have stood on snakes deadly brown ones and had dreams of the future on numerous occasions.. Yep i do not need to rely of Faith that God exists. I know God exists as well as i know the sun rises in the morning..

Oh...the 4 Lightning strikes Just missing me
First time One ...( in nj )..passed between my friend and i..as swimming back to shore as it started raining...though we were3/4 feet apart as swimming...the lightning passed between us..we felt the heat of the lightning as it passed between us ( the closest rain storm or lightning clouds were 20-30 miles away

Second time..( in nj )was driving in a car with a different friend..driving in an Extreme down pour...lightning striking and hitting rear right of car arcing to a tree and setting it slightly ablaze ( as a car behind us crazily honking and stopping us..to tell us of the lightning strike

Third time... ( in nj ) .. as entering a store during typical lite thunder storm
A bolt struck just 3-5 feet above the stores door

Third time..( in long island ).. coming out of a store about 40 feet away across from me a lightning bolt struck a power pole with one of those transformer generators on it...creating quite light show with the bolt spinning about for some 10 or 12 seconds before blowing the transformer
