Take your time. No rush.
NDE's.
Gee, it took me hours to think about it.
Gee. Took me 5 seconds to prove that crap wrong.
NEAR death, is not "death". "Near dead" people have brains. They prove absolutely NOTHING. Maybe you should have taken a wee bit longer. :p
It's also interesting. NEVER is ANYTHING "encountered" in an NDE that is not endemic in the prior experience of the person describing the experience.
People from Western cultures ONLY experience Western music, and experiences endemic in, and known from their lives in Western culture. People from other cultures only experience elements from THEIR cultures, and NEVER once, anything totally "other" or unique. That alone makes them highly suspect. You'd think if they "went to heaven" there would be at least ONE thing unique. Show me a 7 day dead corpse with NO FUNCTIONING BRAIN, and maybe I'll say it deserves investigation. You can't.
Rats have NDE's. Do they fly up to Jebus ? Jebus no likey rats.
