Hello Atheists, Agnostic here, and I would love to ask you a question about NDEs

[brewer]

I'm getting really tired of having near life experiences (NLE's). Almost happen every day.

Many atheists and agnostics, even some religious people, are skeptical of Near Death Experiences, saying that they are a product of a faulty brain which is deprived of oxygen, blood flow and is essentially confused. I found numerous articles saying that G-Force pilots experience similar visions when they are in flight simulators. This causes me to be somewhat skeptical of NDEs. I would not be surprised if they were the product of a confused brain.

The existence of the immaterial soul is something that can be very easily established by modern science, if it truly existed:

Of all of the thousands of potential NDEs, no one has identified, via "remote viewing", any of the targets.  Of course, one can concoct all sorts of adhoc, after-the-fact explanations, but it is almost certainly the case that NDEs are the product of brain physiology alone.

Assuming that the actual statistics on all reported NDEs support your observations, then I think the fact that, in Islam, there is a prohibition against depicting Mohammad could actually account for fewer Muslim NDEs featuring their "prophet".

Which is what one would expect if NDEs are experiences by an oxygen-deprived brain creating images and sensations based heavily on one's cultural/religious context.

@VAINO, why is this so important to you. As a Christian I put this in a place of little importance, it's not necessary to Christianity. Christianity is a relationship with Christ as your savior, if this is part of one's life why even worry about what's on the other side, one should be assured of that reality.

Yes, why worry? Just swallow the unsubstantiated tripe fed to you by believers.  See how easy it is?

I have said this before but I will again. I am a registered nurse. One day I was admitting a patient from the ICU to the rehab unit. This involves performing a physical assessment and an interview (Do you smoke?). During the interview the man tried to tell me about his NDE. I ignored him and asked the next question. I don't have time for that shit.

If you hurt his feelings, though, he may start to feel bad about himself, and perhaps, from that, get sick and die?

Before I got my CPAP machine for sleep apnea I was apparently having literally 100's of NDE's every night.  Funny but I never once saw any biblical crap.

Every organism has near-death experiences all the time. We call them being alive.
