Well, you're right! I guess it did change me in a few subtle ways. First of all, it made me believe that there is some sort of an existence after death. It changed me from an absolutely devout atheist to someone willing to believe in an overall creator. And it opened my eyes to some startling new biological science. Prior to my experiences, I thought that anyone who believed in anything paranormal was a raving lunatic.
As for the possibility that I made the whole thing up...... I can fully understand how ANYONE can feel that way! The entire book, every last word, is totally preposterous. Very often, I'm embarrassed that I published the damn thing. My wife and other members of my family were dead against it. They were, and still are, certain that people will think I'm a crazy liar who should be locked up somewhere.
I'm not saying you didn't experience the afterlife, I'm just not saying you did either. I know it's certainly possible, I just can't personally make my own decision on whether to believe you or not simply due to the fact that I haven't read it. I'd like to actually, just living paycheck to paycheck atm and most money would be best spent on more (no offense) productive things such as bills. Not to mention that there are a few questionable things you've expressed here; such as sexual identity in the afterlife, the only existing evil being humans, and who knows what you have to say about Jesus Christ.
I don't know, there's no real way for me to know whether you're right or not, but I'm generally open minded and am willing to consider it a
possibility for now.

"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
