Within my experience...
Well, I've spent enough time with these subjects to be confidant of my position and as in the link I provided, an afterlife belief is warranted by the evidence. I find that many atheists grab the best materialist explain-away and stick with it.....and never the twain shall meetNear Death Experiences appear to be a natural result of the brain shutting down. No longer can they be claimed of evidence. Nor has anyone ever reliably communicated with the dead. There have been countless people taken in by frauds. But when those people were put to the test they have failed.
Within my experience it has seemed that fear of death absolutely fuels religion.
When we love someone so much and they die it's unacceptable to a lot of people to think they will never see them again. Death is so horrible for so many people. Instead of seeing the life it creates it is perceived as purely a loss.
A significant member of my family died this year. Watching my family (Christians) was heart breaking more so even than the event itself. Their lives seemed to be over and the only comforting recycled noise was that he is in a better place or we will see him again one day.
So many people are weak and cant handle anymore. Its easy to see why say a heaven is a comforting idea but we can't dismiss all the false and immoral claims within.
Life cant exist without death. Two sides of the same coin. We need to embrace it and be ok with it. Making childish stories to serve up as comfort food isn't beneficial for anyone.
A religious person saying what they believe is real.. Imagine that.That explanation does not take into account those people who believe hell is real and some people will go there unforgiven.
How is THAT "comforting?"
Oh no, of course not, theres just millions of NDEs for nothing and we got no evidence? Lol. Also dont forget about the VERIDICAL NDEs. Those are the ones that rule out halucinations.
But, ya, youl just wave all the evidence away. .
So its about how you feel vs whats real?
Looks like its about YOUR comfort, isnt it?
Precisely speaking, I believe what people are afraid of is the death or end of their psychological selves -- what they think of as "me" or "I". The distinction might seem moot, but in practice it has somewhat different consequences from being afraid of the death of their body, mind, etc. Some people are indeed afraid of both those things, though.
Not clinging to material. Just only believe in what's fact and not just my opinion based experience.Well, I've spent enough time with these subjects to be confidant of my position and as in the link I provided, an afterlife belief is warranted by the evidence.

I also search for all evidence and argumentation and form my most reasonable position.Not clinging to material. Just only believe in what's fact and not just my opinion based experience.

Most all Christians believe hell is real.. Yet they also believe you can be forgiven just by asking in a split second.That explanation does not take into account those people who believe hell is real and some people will go there unforgiven.

You didnt answer or account for anything i said.
That to me makes your position look utterly disbelievable.
Nope. Mine is the norm. Yours is unprovable immoral nonsense.You didnt answer or account for anything i said.

I am sure the author holds the earth to be spheroidal actually.Your link does not look all that different from a flat Earth site. Have you ever considered trying to find a reliable source? One that at least tries to test their beliefs?
Well the fact is no one knows.. And anyone who claims to is blindly making assumptions.I also search for all evidence and argumentation and form my most reasonable position.
Nisargadatta Maharaj is one of my favorite of all time. It sad you cant hear his truth George.I am sure the author holds the earth to be spheroidal actually.
Yes, the data is considered against all evidence and argumentation. It uses open-minded skepticism to reach its position and carefully considered cases.
If you are an atheist you might consider that you attack before reading things that seem to contradict your position.
Yes, just as much as Muslim near death experiences can confirm teachings of Muhammad.. Christian near death experiences could confirm Jesus as God. It means nothing yet so many base these things as core facts.
Within my experience it has seemed that fear of death absolutely fuels religion.

So it is never a true fear.
I can murder and steal tonight with the comfort of knowing god will forgive me in the morning.
