Why does anyone pay this clown any notice?

Why did humans once believe that the son was a god? Why do humans believe in vampires and psychics? Humans are gullible. 

Humans would rather believe in a superstition and or comforting lie because that is easier than actually doing the investigation to find out it is bunk.

Is it possible for a society to debunk everything?
Yes.
Ever heard of mass hysteria?
What about fashion?
Simple codependency will cause people to bow the knee to anything...

The idea of NDE's being a spiritual experience is a fad.

How do you know that what you think and believe isn't just fashionable thinking?

In the future the world will witness lot's of evidence for it, like the deceased appearing and talking with them. Note that ancestral worship is strong in pagan beliefs. NDE talk is just one of many avenues to promote the lie.

Satan has perpetuated the lie since the beginning, when he spoke through the serpent to Eve, declaring that disobedience to God will not result in death, but that they will "surely not die."

While he has successfully duped the world into accepting this false doctrine, he hasn't been permitted by God to verify it through miracles on the scale he wishes.

God forbade the Israelites to consult with those who make supposed contact with the dead, because of the convincing lies and apparitions.
King Saul consulted such a person and ended up believing the verdict about his standing with God, that he was rejected by God, when in fact God had not rejected him as a human, but only as the king.
Saul believed the lie and later committed suicide, instead of having the courage to call on God for help.

The purpose of the lie is manifold, but it basically says that people are not dependent on the everyday power of life from God, and such a philosophy is applied to spiritual independency, where people assume that their own beliefs are as good as God's word. "The god within."

Satan knows that a real relationship with God depends on trust and obedience, and in getting people to communicate to the dead he hopes to instill a whole set of beliefs, that separate people from God through disobedience.

Satan doesn't care if atheism is the means by which people are totally ignorant of his existence and plans. It works well that he is thought of as a total myth.
And in religion he paints himslef as a half animal or whatever, when in fact he was the most powerful and intelligent created being.

Aren't you overdue for your meds?  Now put some cloths on and quit banging your head on the ground.

I can’t stand that fucking quack.  He should have his medical license revoked. I honestly can’t tell if he’s crazy or a just liar.  For a dietitian like myself, the sound of his name is like nails on a chalkboard.  I remember seeing a commercial for one of his shows about how carbs “cause” Alzheimer’s.  What a DICK.

I’m honestly surprised that he still works as a surgeon in a New York hospital. You’d think his quackery would, at the very least, call his license into question. I mean, the guy testified before Congress about the snake oil he peddles, all but admitting it’s all a sham.

Wait... why were you watching Mehmet in the first place?

you think NDEs are fake. Tell me this: when the brain is about to die, how can it conjure up such a lucid image? NDEs are highly lucid, things make sense, they meet family, potentially Jesus, they see bright lights, feel good, and then come back to life. Some people argue the NDE occurs when the brain comes back online. However, when the brain comes back online, people are generally groggy, they have painful unrealistic hallucinations. So, there really is no stage during which the brain is normal or lucid enough to make such an experience. Also, people often claim it felt more real than real life. Dr. Long says oxygen loss cannot cause NDEs because oxygen loss creates weird painful hallucinations. Dr. Sartori says that drugs like ketamine actually minimize overall NDE causes. Therefore, there is no way to explain them, they might be real.

You can say all the things you've just said about intensive drug use. Everything you experience is filtered through the brain-- that means your brain is perfectly capable of generating an entire sensory world for you to experience.

Well, when the brain is about to die, shouldn't we expect it to be malfunctioning and, as a result, conjure up vivid images that have been rooted in the mind due to sociocultural experiences?

Fact is every individual who has had an NDE tells you a different story of what they saw than another individual who has had an NDE; they each see stuff based on their own conditioning (both personal and sociocultural). Don't you think that, therefore, human psychology explains this far better than the supernatural?

oh no
