[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is an NDE proof of an afterlife if you don't need to be near death to experience one?

I'm the PP who lost all religious beliefs after experiencing an NDE. I didn't understand what it was at the time. The one thing it taught me is that death is not at all scary. [/quote]
Why did you lose all religious belief?[/quote]

After the experience, my priorities shifted. I had a moment of "oh, that's how it works" and my ideas of God and an afterlife quickly unraveled. It never seemed like a religious experience, either during or after. Gods have been blamed/credited with things we don't fully understand since the beginning of time. It seemed much more likely that an afterlife was the explanation for an experience. Maybe my perception would be different if I was near death at the time of the NDE. I did believe that I was about to die, which is one of the defining criteria.

My loss of religion may also have something to do with the incident that led to the NDE. It was at the hands of another person. When a complete stranger attacked me and tried to intentionally kill me, it skewed my view of an omnipotent creator and savior. [/quote]
