I am not talking about people who had an NDE in general.
I am very very specific and ask if one of you which is a respected atheist in this forum would come back in here after an NDE experience saying that he-she was wrong all the way........what would you do?
Change, not change or what else?
It's possible if someone's brain state and chemistry changed severely, their beliefs would change as well. For example, if my brain suddenly became the same as yours, Little Rik, I'd probably think the same way you do, and believe in God.
If I started hearing voices, and heard them for so many years that they seemed like a central part of my existence, and if thos voices seemed to be teaching me valuable life lessons, I might come to believe that they were voices from God or angels or something.
Most people here would see that as hallucinations of a malfunctioning brain. You might see it as a legitimate religious experience. However, it's clear enough that experiences can be false, no matter how strong they seem.
My answer to you is this: I can't imagine that I would change my view, whatever the experience. . . but I haven't had the experience, so I cannot know for sure.
