I seen few NDE reports and it's impossible to know what those people saw(unless you use lie detector or hypnotize them) and did they added a lot of things to make a good enough story to "save" souls.
Seeing how believers like to lie on end day dates as well as reveled fake cases of NDE, I just don't trust religion anymore.
You do not seem to be a careful reader.
If you would have paid attention to these NDEs you would have noted that religions are out in most cases.
Even religious people after their NDE change in favor of spirituality.
But I guess you wouldn't even know what is the difference between religion and spirituality.
orthodox-man sees in NDE stories predominantly Jesus while LR sees in the very same NDE stories predominantly no religion - so basically every religious person sees shit they want in NDE stories, or in other words Confirmation bias.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
