Did this guy die, i.e., his heart stop beting, or did he just come close to it? There doesn't seem to be any resuscitation efforts involve din his story. Sounds like he had a close call with almost having a near-death experience.

Your vision involved a church. There you go, it was related to God and Jesus...
-
did you ever wonder if because you are atheist God created that reality for you in death? Perhaps because I believe in God that is what I will experience in death. It seems so poetically fir and just!

All we are is just a bunch of chemicals, that is all!

All human cognitive functions including consciousness are all governed entirely by the brain. It is utterly impossible for our being or psyche to survive physical death.
There is NO metaphysical, non-bodily component of a biological organism. Death is FINAL!

@youngdones Impossible to answer intellectually I should say.

@youngdones hahaha we already know how biological organisms "came to be". What we can't explain (and never will be able to) is why their basic building blocks (monomers, amino acids, etc.) were arranged so specifically that they WERE able to come together to form cells. Your statement is obviously uneducated; you're basically saying: "Physicists are starting to figure out WHY we're here", which is impossible to answer of course..

@Tempestni02 The name of Jesus set me free from alchol and drugs in 1989. This is my experience. If there is an afterlife, which I believe there is,what will the non beievers do then? There is a choice,but not after you die. I pray for people to have an encounter with the jesus I met. I just tell my story and believe it will help change someones life. Peace and Blessings!
Enjoyed the story. Would you say you felt more or less spiritual afterwards? (not to be confused with "religious")

@Orsigno1 Spiritual? Yes AND no. Definitely NOT in the literal meaning of the word, for I believe in nothing supernatural at all. But it DID make me appreciate life/nature/existence, sometimes intensely. Every year since then has been a "bonus". And that "attitude" HAS led many people, close friends included, into occasionally mistaking it for "spirituality". I was, I think, unusually thoughtful before it happened. It kinda pushed me into overdrive.
