Question about Near Death Experiences

RE: Question about Near Death Experiences

I'll just say the real issue is with terminology.  A near death experience isn't about what happens when you're dead, only nearly so.  Nearly dead is still alive.  In dreams lots of fantastic things happen.  Under the extreme conditions of near death, the brain might well give rise to surprising experiences.  They just don't tell you about anything 'beyond the grave', just about what your brain under duress is capable of.

But of course you probably won't want to drop it just like that.  Good luck.

"Nearly dead is still alive.  In dreams lots of fantastic things happen. "
that is a good way of putting it. Although I am still not 100% sure to make of them, I think that hearing the logic from some atheist like yourself and others on this site may eventually lead me to questioning my faith.
