No need to get excited.
WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OR SAY IF YOU DIE AND FIND OUT THAT YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL AND GOD IS THERE?
Your body is left behind to rot but your body is not you anymore.
You are there facing God.
1) Would you say.........oh, well there was no evidence that you existed that is why i never believe that you exist.
2) I was wrong in not looking at all options.
3) I never thought that by refusing to consider that you exist i could not expect that you manifest in my consciousness.
If none of these options come closer to your thinking then please express your thought.
I am curious to know what you would say to this HYPOTHETICAL God in this HYPOTHETICAL case.
Thanks.
I simply cannot take these types of arguments seriously because eternal reward/punishment systems are just silly.
Rewards and punishments are not what i was interested in my OP.
But if i was in God i wouldn't punish an atheist.
Why would i?
But at the same time i wouldn't reward it either.
When there is not progress or regress that person would just stay in the same spot so to speak.
Beside it is not God that reward or punish.
It is us that decide to go up or down consciously speaking.

I guess many ex atheist keep quite about these experiences in order not to feel a bit embarrassed.
I pretty much had it with NDEs. First there's this experiment conducted a while ago:

And these are two links to other experiments as well as scientific discovery.

I hope you're one, who actually reads what is posted for them.
I am afraid that it is you the one who doesn't read properly.
In this research that you propose it say...............one study of 58 patients who recounted near-death experiences found 30 were not actually in danger of dying, although most of them thought they were..............
