Because they're busy looking for the 72 virgins.

This is all hearsay and fable dredged up out of the World Wide Well of Bullshit. People who have near death experiences are not in their right mind because of injuries, anesthetics, lack of oxygen, etc. Those who take them seriously as proof of any religion are out of their minds period. There are enough wonders in the real universe without looking for enlightment in other people's dreams.

In the West we unfortunately have a Christian-dominated culture with lots of people willing to pay money for "proof" of a Christian afterlife. They're perfect prey for every charlatan, huckster and phony medium.

When people see Jesus what does he look like?

Oh for fecksake. You're not even able to spell Christianity in your header, and then you start babbling about YouTube videos. Next.

I would like to make two points:

First, I'm going to assume that you are right. During NDE's Christians see Jesus, but Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Atheists see hell.....Okay, so we have to conclude then that the latter group go to hell when they are dead and Christians go to heaven. This is what you are saying, isn't it?

What is 'Hell'? The traditional view is that it is 'eternal torture' - burning, wailing and gnashing of teeth. So, let's keep going. Are you comfortable with that? Is it okay with you that non-Christians go to hell simply because they don't believe that Jesus was the son of God? Do you think that eternal torture is a just punishment for millions of non-Christians?

My parents were atheists and they were also lovely people. They were kind and harmless. They are now both dead. Should they go to hell for not being Christians? My brother is a Christian and I asked him this question. He wouldn't answer until I'd asked him so many times, he finally cracked and said 'YES! I believe that they are in hell!"

So, Christians think that 'belief' is more important than behaviour. It doesn't matter what you do or don't do, only what you believe. But 'belief' is not something you can choose with sincerity. You can look at all the evidence and decide. Atheists cannot find any reason to believe the Christian view and many reasons no to. A sincerely held view cannot be changed without evidence to the contrary and to be punished for what you cannot change is clearly unjust.

If you (and my brother) are correct - that decent, warm-hearted people who have never done anything wrong will go to hell, and that this is fair, just and proper for such people, I can only see this as good reason to reject this god. Eternal punishment goes against the moral sense of any decent person. If 'God's ways are not our ways' and that when God does such things, it's 'GOOD' you have lost all conception of 'good and evil. You are submitting to a terrifying power hoping that he won't torture you if you simply 'believe' in him.

My second point is this: I have read quite a few books on NDE's What stands out in every one I've read is that people of all religions and none simply DO NOT have religious experiences where Jesus is seen. Let me give you a quote from 'Dying to be Me' by Anita Moorjani which is typical of what people experience:

"I also seemed to comprehend why I'd come into this life in the first place - I knew my true purpose. Why do I suddenly understand all this? wanted to know. Who's giving me this information? Is it God? Krishna? Buddha? Jesus? And then I was overwhelmed by the realization that God isn't a being, but a state of being....and I was now that state of being"

'God isn't a being, but a state of being' . Even as an atheist, I kind of like that and can live with it! Most other NDE'ers report a feeling of being loved and accepted. They tend not to talk about meeting Jesus or God, just a feeling of acceptance and love. It is the non-religious nature of NDE's that has interested researchers as it is this that points to it's non-cultural nature.

I haven't entirely rejected the idea of NDE's but I think that it is likely that a lot of exaggeration, lies, delusion, false memory, wishful thinking etc. probably lies at the root of the mystery - just like religion.

I honestly can't do this anymore.

This claims are probably false. Serious research has proved that the imagery seen in NDE is always culturally influenced: Christians see Jesus, Hindus see Hindu gods, etc. Also, many NDE don't involve religious figures at all. Therefore, it is quite possible that those Youtube videos are made up.

Why don't Muslims see Muhammed? I'd be willing to bet many of them do during a near death experience, but the only ones you read about were put out by Christians or christian organizations to try to push their agenda. I'm also not sure how you can claim to have proof, yet also provide no sources to back it up.

It seems that a lot of Christians coming to this forum have no concept of what a proof really is! Second-hand stories with no serious documentation and other assorted garbage that has far better explanations (if one had a deeper knowledge of the subject) do not make a proof. Lack of real research is huge, and a lot of people come here after being fired up by some U-tube scam. They are big users of the argument from ignorance. That is, if you can't explain then and there their pet "gotcha" point then they win! Yes, "proof" comes easily to their lips, but they have no clue as to what a real proof entails!

@ Kiik. I once saw this episode on american television. It was a talk show maybe oprah or some other of a similar ilk where they were interviewing a person who had a near death experience. This person claimed that in that experience he witnessed a place with nothing. Truly nothing. when he came to he remembered the experience of nothing and thought it was hell and since then he hates anyone who says go to hell.

Isn't that proof then that nothing exists after death. No heaven no hell, Nothing..
