No.

I've heard the claim before. Holds no water.

And testimonials mean nothing.

If they did I'd have to also believe all the testimonials from people who say they've been abducted by aliens.

Do you believe those?

The claims of the afterlife far outweight those of aliens.

Did you actually read that Snopes page? It basically says that the idea that the soul has weight which is removed at the time of death is pretty much bullshit.

And obviously you did not use that handy WikiHow guide I linked you to that explained how to evaluate whether a source was reliable.

Yes they do.

And all those who have supposedly "experienced" an afterlife through NDEs experience what they're culturally conditioned to experience. For instance: if you're a Christian or been raised in an area where Christian mythology is dominant, then you'll "experience" the Christian afterlife or concept of heaven and hell. You won't experience the Muslim or Hindu versions.

The same is true of Hindus, Muslims, etc.

Again, it bares no weight on reality.

Well here's some more proof: My father (and others) often begin speaking in tounges during church. That's physical evidence. Can any atheist explain them getting lost in the spirit?

Okay, I got that out of my system. You know when else people speak in tongues? When they are possessed by demons. So how do you know that these people are being touched by God and not by demons?

Because it's when they get deep in worship.
