Fenoglios- I agree, even atheists can have confirmation bias... it isn't good when anyone has it.

As for the out-of-body experience story, it sounds like a good ghost story. Fun to tell, but they can't really be tested (more precisely, they are tested, but haven't been verified to happen).

Hi Bernie. It's cool to see you on here.

I'd love to see you recognizing that you are just as susceptible to confirmation bias as Dennis. It's a fact about atheists too. And the fallacy of "anecdotal reasoning" is a problem of reasoning from one case to a general principle. So if you actually meant to call out that fallacy, your argument would be "maybe that one person has a soul, but there's no evidence of other souls." You mean to say that you don't trust his testimony.

The OOBE stuff does not stand up to scrutiny.
