It's called begging the question. You're assuming that death is the end of experience in order to refute the possibility of experience after death. Not very logical, but I wouldn't expect logic from an asshat like you.

What a disingenuous moron you are. There is voluminous evidence to show experience correlated with, and is the product of, functioning nervous system. Destruction of function nervous system is as good an evidence as can be imagined for cessation of experience.

If near death is experienced after destruction of nervous system, then you have a case. Otherwise you are doing what you were appearent born to do, which is to bullshit with a smarmy knowing air.

What we do doubt in both cases is your interpretation of what you think happened. Our species is extremely capable of false perceptions and gap filling.

If you really want to believe something badly enough you will.

Now in the case of this "former atheist" they know damned well, or should, that they are still subject to the same scrutiny as if they had been religious the entire time. They still would not buy their own "conversion" story if another person with anothe pet god like Allah or Vishnu claimed "I had an experience".

Once again, so much for the requirement of uncertainty to legitimize free choice.

If you want to take a definition of Santa when it comes to coal or presents you will. Reality is never that simple.
