There's evidence, bad evidence, and evidence for any god or gods, in descending order. Then we get down to pond scum. Then to what the pond scum shits out. Then you.
Of course is all bad evidence.
All those ex non believers and atheists that are now strong theists after their NDE must all have had an hallucination.
Try looking at it this way LR: there is a thing called Controlled clinical death when during certain surgeries surgeons stop patient heart and lungs for some time (it can go up to 30 minutes if it's very cold) so they are dead. You have hundreds or even thousands of cases like that happening every day and no patient during that time experiences NDE or at least well over 99% of cases claim not to. They experience nothing.
If NDE was so common as "your" webpage claims then in our capitalist world there would be doctors just specialized to put people into Controlled clinical death so that they can see Jesus or Ra or Odin or whatever is supposed to be out there, but there isn't. Not just that but going into Controlled clinical death would be a religious custom; students of theology would be induced into Controlled clinical death to go and speak to Jesus and write doctorates, but they don't because when people die they don't encounter anybody.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
