Dimethyltryptamine. It's one hell of a drug.

Um...I'm pretty sure the OP was being sarcastic, and he didn't really take the videos seriously.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I'm not a firm atheist to begin with. Just an atheist. I don't even see how NDE's are necessarily related to gods.

After 11 years of 99% atheism... it's pretty bruised now O.O

Here are the main two videos that did it (the first is split into parts).

I'm very curious to hear if they shake anyone else! There were others too but these are the main ones!










... pretty intense, right?

I dunno what to make of it all to be honest but it's pretty amazing if you ask me!

I just want to know the truth that's all Smile

Take care dudes,

I didn't watch the vids, but this is a good link to personal Hell experiences.

A "firm" atheist? How can one be firm or convicted in their non-belief?

Now, with respect to all the god myths out there, there are some we're either open or close minded to, considering all the various claims we've ever encountered and listened to to-date.

For example I utterly reject any argument for the existence of the Biblical god, the claimant doesn't even have a burden of proof because the whole concept is refuted, literally thrown out of the debate, as a pile of incoherent nonsense, whereas with other deity claims I normally listen to the arguments first until the person fails to deliver any verifiable evidence and therefore meet their obligation to demonstrate the being/entity's ontological 'presence', if you will.

All depends on what you define "god" as. Most people put forward a ridiculously absurd, usually logically impossible case, and the rest label the mundane and everyday as "god", which is fine until one begs the question "Why call it 'god' then?" Undecided

When you're dying your brain dumps a shitload of it into your system causing mad hallucinations. It doesn't help that if you are in hospital they will probably be pumping you with Ketamine at the same time.

Congrats! You've stumbled on the delusions of an oxygen-starved brain.

These are not credible evidence for anything but gullibility.
