This in reply to someone that believe in physical science but for his own interest does not believe in doctors which are specialists in medical science.

They all end up in the same place so it is your idea that doesn't make any sense.
You keep forgeting that these experience can be forced without the peoples lives being in danger. If they're not dying, no "soul" is leaving the body. So why would have these NDE's. The simpliest answer, it is all in your head.

Quote:If 99% of the so called Buddhists would follow what Buddha say then i would say that Buddhism is spirituality but as i know it is only less then 1% that follow what Buddha said that is why i can say that today Buddhism is religion.You don't get to change the definitions of words to fit your view. I still bafaled at your constant appeal to the population. You can't seem to realize that it's a falacy.
Lets try this example, there are about 99% of the people practicing yoga who do it solely for the exercise. They do not believe the karma or other mysticism that comes with it. So yoga is not a spiritual.
Did you spot the falacy in my example. That is the same falacy your consistently making.
Yoga is not required to exorcise. Nor is it a religion. Buddhism is a religion regardless of how you try to make it more earthy, is still rooted in superstition and is a religion that is big enough to set up social order to a political level.
Buddhism has different sects just like every other religion and it's members can and do incorporate superstitions basing them on their religions. That is no different than claiming to be a secular Jew or cultural Christian.
Religion is nothing more than a different form of politics masking itself as morality.
