He was a former arts prof so in his NDE he saw 80 new primary colours, and he was able to predict world events in the future. He became a priest afterwards. What do you guys think, assuming he was not lying about his experience?
I think he was lying about his experience - and probably about a lot more. He's also most likely a nut-job. Brain is a fragile thing, you'd think, that if one should ever be skeptical of any testimony, it should be that of a person, who's brain was oxygen-deprived, for a significant amount of time.
If I got knocked on the noggin and told everyone I saw fairies - everyone would think, that I'm just brain-damaged. But if I said I'd seen something, that confirmed their wishes regarding the afterlife - they'd fall over themselves, trying to suck my d*ck. People are stupid and gullible, especially when their fear of death is being manipulated by charlatans, trying to make a buck on a bullsh*t story.
NDEs are just modern fairy-tales for dim people. Advanced technology makes actual "miracles" much more difficult to manufacture, so now all we get is stories of what some a**hole saw in his dream. Pathetic...
