Me? Still 100% atheist.
Is it me or is Hoppimike coming across as a theist pretending to be an atheist converting to theism? I call hoax.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

No, it doesn't shake me. It just makes me think how brilliant and powerful the human brain is.

Still firmly atheist. Didn't even make a scratch.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

In fact, it's just made me even more atheist, that's how hardcore I am.

Same. The more nonsense I hear, the harder I laugh.
I'm also convinced that he's a theist in disguise. He's behaving like one....he's lying.

So can I still be an atheist after watching those videos. Yes I can.
Anecdotal evidence is not evidence.

Here's an anecdote to match their anecdotes. My fiance has "died" something like 5 times since she was a teen. No heartbeat, no respiration. No NDE's either. She said it was almost exactly like being anesthetized.
Frankly, I trust her much more than some jackass on EgoTube.

And also, why don't people report NDE's when anesthetized? I mean you're completely unconscious after all...

I remember jumping out of bed very quickly soon after waking up. Stood up feeling perfectly normal then the next thing I know, I'm on the floor. Apparently I was out for a few minutes but from my point of view it was only a couple of seconds. Complete blank. Just like being asleep.
I collapsed because I got up way too fast and it caused blood to drain quickly from my brain. Nothing serious but I hit a few things on the way down apparently.
I'm quite sure that when you do die, you'll just cease to exist. You won't even know you're dead, or have ever lived. My kind of death. Wouldn't want it to be any other way.
