Your last response to me actually argued my point. If they were only unconscious for a couple of minutes, there was no time for the brain death you describe. Therefore, they were only unconscious, not miraculously dead and dreaming of heaven.
I would also like to refer back to my post pointing out that these people were under severe mental duress. If you noticed, you will see that about the same percentage of NDE sufferers after cardiac arrest have mental issues after the event. Coincidence?

Digression? I'll be honest, you are starting to get annoying. You posted a thread that says "souls and atheism." You clearly want this to be against atheism and for souls, which have nothing to do with atheism. Religious discussion in this thread is completely on-topic, given the title you gave this thread. You either want this to be about religion or you do not. However, you do not get to make this about atheism without having something concrete to back up why NDEs have shit to do with atheism. Well, you get to, but you will be mocked.
