Just blackness.
Nothingness.
No white light.
No dead relies.
Nothing.
Nada.
Zilch.
Much the same for me. When the bomb went off, I recall feeling something like a full-body punch, then I woke up in hospital. Nothing in between. I was told I coded for about twenty seconds.

Yeah, I didn't see the light when I had a heart attack. Unless you count the ones on the ceiling of the hospital as the EMTs rolled me into the cath lab.

That’s atheists for ya - we can’t even die in the approved manner.

So what are we talking about here? An omnipotent deity that's gormless enough to yoink out your soul when you aren't really dying, realize its boo-boo, and give you some cryptic visions before cramming you back into your meat sack? Worshipping that would be positively cringeworthy.
NDEs are evidence of little more than a panicked brain tripping balls.

On top of that very simple fallacies like "science cant explain NDEs (yet!), therefore God".
Pretty pathetic actually.

It's long been known that rats have NDE's.
Are they proof of the Rat God ?
The problem with NDEs is that they always and ONLY reference the culture, music and knowledge of the culture the person having one, lives in.
Hindus don't hear Beethoven.

He's obviously new to all this. We've been answering this crap for 10 years, or longer.
Nothing is new. I haven't seen a new argument from them for years.
Actually almost everyone has given up arguing this amateur stuff.
Speaking of that, there is a great new book out, (I argue with his point about how and when the Jews decided on one god, (it was when the Hellenistic culture arrived in the Levant after the return from the Exile, and :individualism" arrived from Greece.))
https://progressivechristianity.org/reso...ern-world/
This site has some very well known "Christian" (cough) "scholars", I think it includes my favorite NT scholar who says "risen" from the dead, is mis-translated (should be ''exalted', just as all the other Jewish apocalyptic heroes were "exalted"). The Messiah was never to rise from the dead. AND no Jewish hero ever (before) rose from the dead. The appearances of a risen Jesus in the NT all meet the definition of (Jewish) "shade".

Indeed, after ten years of the same wall of text arguments, I find the best response is a simple poppycock.

I have a large set of long academic stuff I wrote in grad school.
Copy-paste takes about 30 seconds.
