Atheists, I want to know your explanation for these Out of body experiences?

RE: Atheists, I want to know your explanation for these Out of body experiences?
(January 25, 2017 at 12:25 pm)Faith No More Wrote: Setting aside the dubious nature of these claims and proving them, can an NDE proponent explain to me why only a fraction of people that nearly die experience one?  A friend of mine was declared dead for nearly two minutes, and he experienced nothing.  Zero.  Zilch.  Nada.

I guess his soul was on the fritz?

This.

From personal experience, and I don't expect this to be evidence one way or the other, I was in a motorcycle accident years ago and my heart stopped for nearly two minutes.  I also saw nothing.

Can you please explain to me why these experiences, when they involve an afterlife, always involve the afterlife the person is culturally predisposed to see?  Example: a Christian or a person born and raised in the West will see the CHristian afterlife.  Heaven or Hell, etc.  A Hindu will see the Hindu afterlife (whatever that may entail), not the Christian one.
