There's nothing stopping an atheist from believing in ghosts, and there's nothing stopping a theist from rejecting belief in ghosts.
Truth is most of you don't want to look at it subjectively. Proves to me you may be afraid of the truth. I'm not saying I have any absolutes.
I assume you mean objectively? IDK, I don't think the problem here is that I don't want to look at things objectively..rather, that when I do look at them objectively, I simply don't reach the same conclusion you have.
What is there supposed to be in any of this for me or anyone else to be afraid of, anyway?

They never issued me my nde when I actually was near death.. either. Didn't even dream. Talk about getting ripped off. Some people go in for routine surgery and the entire cosmos opens up to them including all of the mysteries of the divine.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
