People write books about how they went to heaven and saw Jesus, and they get best seller awards. I talk about how I went to Asgard and battled with the almighty Odin, and I get meds.
Typical. Whenever it's what they DO believe in they're like "Yeah! Totally!" but when it's something they DON'T believe in they're like "You're crazy, man." Hypocrites.
I died and went to Hell once. (Bullet wound to the chest.) When I met Satan, I told him, "Bitch, get the fuck off my throne." Then he kicked me out of Hell, and well, here I am back on Earth.

Raf Kiss How is there a wrong religion? How is there a right religion? How can anyone know their religion is correct when there are quite a few religions out there, if any ARE correct?
***** To me, ALL religions are equally untrue. I was joking by stating something that some Christians would argue... Apparently, according to James' statement, only Christians come back after dying and say they "saw Heaven", because (according to Christians) Christianity is the only true religion... ok? Cheers
My wife had her throat cut in a robbery many years ago when she was working the midnight shift at a little store. She died on the operating table while the doctor was trying to put her throat back together. They lost her for about 4 minutes. She lived in a small town so news traveled fast. She was visited by several local clergy because at the time she was a southern Baptist Christian. They questioned her about her experience. When she told then she didn't know until the doctor told her about it, they refused to believe her. One even told her she was an idiot and could make millions if she would just "play the game". My wife is an Atheist now.
I read that when we die, our brain still goes on for 7 minutes... This could explain this and the white light.. There is an explanation for EVERYTHING. All you need to do is read books.
+Awoman WithoutReligion of course! life has explanation for EVERYTHING. If we can't find it.. we just have to look harder. We still have much to learn about the world and space. It is a paradox that anything can exist without an explanation.
i didnt watch the whole, but if he is talking about the book "Proof of the heaven" then you're wrong. The guy is a neurosurgeon, and clearly explained that while he was dead, the part of the brain that allows a human to dream was completely off, which made it impossible to be a hallucination. Not sure abt the details but ill check out his book.
In a few hundred years or sooner your personal God will be regarded as a pagan god and a myth, as all other gods before have been, then this lunacy will end and the world will be set free.
But by then, there will be another religion that has taken the role of Christianity and the other big religions. And I doubt that it will disapear in just a few hundred years, since it has become so deeply rooted into society.
Marstroll Hey, one can hope though right? The more we talk about this being just part of our nature to see patterns where there are none, that it's a collective mild version of schizophrenia. Or it's just an excuse for people to fulfill their need for belonging and a mechanism to instill their children with values. Even though if questioned on their own, most theists may admit they don't believe in half of the supernatural stuff each "religion" asks them to believe.
Maybe not a 100 probably a thousand years, history tells us that Gods tend to hang on for a while until one random day, people have a popularity contest show of hands and decide the next imaginary thing to believe just like what they did in emperor constantine's time when they decided to believe in christianity and make it main stream, while abandoning Zeus and friends. (thats not just a joke that literally how it happen in history.) its sad XD
Poseidon63 Really??? thats sounds true. I have faith that what you're saying is real we should start a new poseidon cult and in 1000 years people will believe it and anew religion is born. :D
So you believe that some ordinary dreams can actually change people's lives and science is every single time randomly wrong when a blind person gets healed or this whole world was created out of nothing?
Lassi yes, how would the Big Bang even happen? If there was NOTHING before the Big Bang, what caused it? That’s why God has to be real HE HAS TO BE. There’s no way.
John Henderson I didn't know we were speaking of merely NDEs. But anyway, it's all batshit, right? Are you saying that a non-NDE heaven/hell trip wouldn't also be crazy?
My mother in law had a heart attack and she was revived, she said "there was nothing but darkness, but I felt peaceful". My nephew was in a car accident, he died in the ambulance twice, but was brought back both times, we asked him if he had seen anything, he said "no, I didn't even know I died, I was unconscious".
i died wehen i was 13 and it was black too. but it was the best feeling i ve ever had in my life. so relaxing. i had lost a lot of blood though. it must be the reason for feeling like i was falling into black dark bliss.
I met a woman who told me when she died she didn't go to heaven or hell she just saw soldiers holding guns to her head. It actually scared the hell out of me when I was younger.
Technically I was dying back in 2007. When they put me under for surgery I had a dream I was a cowboy. When I came home from the hospital I spotted a pony outside of my bedroom window, on the horse farm across the road. IT'S A SIGN!!
My father had a big heart operation a couple of years ago. His favourite piece of history is the American Civil War. When he came round he told me that he had heard fighting in the corridors of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and had seen Confederate and Union soldiers marching up and down.
One time I was really drunk. I said god damn I'm drunk. I said I bet I will feel like shot tomorrow. I felt like shot the next day. God did that for me. We are best buds. It has to be real lmao
I like how he doesn't completely shove away all ideas of religion and belittles everything religious. He actually respects the millions of religious people out there.
catchthesun15 Nah, he's about as respectful as you can expect from someone who thinks that religion is absolute nonsense. I agree that he points out what's wrong with religion, but what do you expect? If this were a political debate and we disagreed with each other, we would do our best to poke holes in each other's arguments. As long as we are respectful to each other, we need not bother being respectful of the argument.
If you're not going to be respectful of the argument, then why bother having it? If you care enough about the topic to debate it, then you need to be respectful of it as well.
catchthesun15 Well, I think we are thinking about the word respect differently here. Clearly, you aren't gonna sit there and go "That argument is so dumb!" I haven't noticed that he does anything of the sort.
kid: holy shit! doctor: what? you were nearly dead. what happened? kid: it was fun. doctor: what was? kid: I was in hell. it's actually really nice there. Satan said the pits of fire were snuffed out years ago. doctor: well that book won't sell well.
i live in japan, and i've heard many stories from japanese people (usually on tv) about them having a near-death experience and "going to heaven". however, what they tend to see on their deathbed is nothing like westerners do: many japanese people claim that, in their near-death experience, they saw a single river in front of them, which they were about to cross but did not. pretty different from the christian heaven with angels and harps and stuff, huh? well, this river actually originates from a famous buddhist mythology; it is said to separate life here on earth and the afterlife, and once you get to the other side of the river, you're a goner. as you may know, japan is a country that's heavily affected by buddhist tradition, and even people who don't identify as religious are still exposed a lot to buddhist customs and stories. thus, it makes total sense that they would see things that resemble the buddhist view of afterlife rather than the christian one, since their brains can't generate what they're not familiar with. christians, i know what you're thinking, and you're right, this doesn't disprove your religion nor the presence of heaven. however, i do think that this proves how these near-death experiences are nothing more than just people hallucinating, or at least, that these stories about heaven aren't that reliable, since people from different cultures see totally different things.
Although people in other cultures and religions don't go to “Heaven”, they do have Near Death Experiences. I wrote a report about NDEs in high school (my English teacher hated it; she was a conservative Christian) and looked into a few specific NDE claims (I basically searched for the supposed best cases for NDEs being supernatural; it turns out they aren't all that good), as well as looking at general reports on the nature of NDEs. One of my favorite factoids from that is that Indians tend to have NDEs about office buildings. NDEs tend to have similar components based on where you live; it's all cultural.
Crossing that veil at times does not necessiate an NDE ..I was able to cross that veil while awake ..the veil that seprates the Spirit realm from our physical world. I was praying to God n my bedroom when it happened. God is real..and these last days ..many are seeing visions of God even while awake..some during NDE. It is written in Bible prophecy that young and old, male and female will dream dreams and see visions of the Spirit realm. Take advantage of it..ask God to show you a vision..come to Him in repentance and seek Him with all your heart and He will make Himself known to you.
@@mikeygarcia8271 I could also claim my dreams are real, but I don't think flapping my arms actually helps me fly. Please keep your nonsense to yourself, thank you.
@@badlydrawnturtle8484 You know what truly spells the difference between those who just had hallucinations with those who had a real personal experience with God and the spiritual realm? Those who had hallunications never came back with something tangible to prove the validity of their experience, while those who had a personal experience with God or in the spiritual realm came back with tangible proof in the form of the following: 1. A miraculous recovery from a fatal illness or from a high risk surgery that even doctors are so dumbfounded they consider these recoveries as nothing short of a miracle. 2. These people who have had real experience in the spiritual realm come with stories they would not have known had they not been told by the spiritual beings who spoke to them while in heaven. Case in point: 1. DR. EBEN ALEXANDER, BRAIN SURGEON He only came to know that he had a sister after his near death experience. He was an only child of his adopted parents. His adoption was not disclosed and was kept a secret so he never got to meet his one and only sister who died years ago. How did he find out he had a sister after his NDE? He said during his journey in heaven, he met this woman who had so much love for him. She became his guide during his journey in the spiritual realm. When this brain surgeon came back to life and recovered, he became so curious about the identity of the woman and shared with his parents how he felt so connected, on a soul level, to this woman. His parents then revealed to him that he was adopted and that he had a sister who died years ago..and so to cut the story short, he set out to get more information about his sister and was able to get hold of her picture. He was flabbergasted as the woman in the picture is exactly the same woman who guided him during his journey in the heavenly realm. He became a cganged man after his NDE. He now believes in God. [He used to be an atheist]
as far as I'm concerned, these "heaven" experiences are hallucinatory events that occur within the mind, and are essentially the mind trying to comfort you in the final moments before your death.
No one comes "back to life" as such. They were never dead as such. Okay, technically when someone's heart stops they are "dead", and it can sometimes be restatred. Maybe they'd have to be properly dead before going off to heaven... not just a bit dead/dying.
Of course it's not proof of heaven. People say and believe a lot of stuff that hasn't been proven and in many cases won't be because it's not true or is unable to be proven by science.
***** When someone stops breathing or their heart stops the brain stops functioning quickly due to lack of oxygen/blood supply. There's lots of knowledge about this, including how quickly someone's brain cells start to die after oxygen or blood supply is cut.
This is just my story. It is not proof of anything.Three months ago I had a massive heart attack. My heart stopped and I stopped breathing for 4 minutes. Eventually the trauma team got my heart started again by pounding on my chest and after a couple of shocks with the paddles, to get the correct rhythm back, I was stabilized They rushed me to an OR and put two stents into my heart arteries. I am still weak but doing pretty good now. Well anyway, while I had no heart beat and was not breathing for 4 minutes, all I experienced was blackness and peace. I had no out of body experience, no white light, no dead relatives to meet me, heaven or hell, just peace. Maybe blackness is just my brain's way of trying to remember experiencing nothing.Just my experience, take it or leave it.
nuimaleko7 maybe that was an hallucination because you were dying? That's what I've learnt from from Reading and watching YT videos, I could be wrong tho.
There 3 explanation, 1 You don't remember if you experienced something (Which happens in most case they only remember it a few months ago) 2, You were just unconscious so your brain wasnt dead yet 3 There is nothing after life or, "heaven"is basically blackness
One time I was having an asthma attack in my sleep, and I dreamed I saw Jesus. And then in th I said "what just because you show up I'm supposed to believe in you now? Plbth!" Then flicked him off. I then woke up, and the asthma attack was gone.
HAHAHAHAAAA this proves how we can overthrow god on judgment day, since he still can't control his powers so well (yes he can't, he can't even show his face lmao) we do have a chance of overthrowing him.
Heaven is real because: 1) In-n-Out 2) Synthwave 3) the internet's limitless supply of free porn 4) the fact that Halt and Catch Fire was greenlit then renewed twice 5) Brian K. Vaughn met Fiona Staples That's enough evidence for me, science geeks!
The Drunken Philosopher some atheists are so stupid and full of shit saying aliens are real but spirits and God isn't real. Like wtf there's no evidence that God is real but there ain't no evidence aliens are real either so quit talking shit about Christians when your asses are believing in aliens .
David Rivas yeah we believe in aliens but you believe in a dude setting on a cloud so mind your own business and get the fuck off this channel. if you don't wanna here shit talk about Christianity then why are you here. I mean for God's sake the channel is literally called the athiest voice. It kinda seems you came here looking for an argument
"I was almost dead, my brain wasn't fnctioning properly, but please believe my crazy dreams!" ... Eh, no? When someone goes to heaven while being 100% healthy, I may take them seriously, but not when they're in a state that is very likely to bring on hallucinations and mess up your memory. Those authors, are they lying, or do they believe what they're saying? Well, if they sell the books at a normal price, I'm going to go ahead and say they're lying. IF they're giving the information away for free, I'm willing to think they believe what they're saying. Still, without evidence to back it up, I'm still going to assume they're wrong/delusional.
Do you still believe this? I've come across many ppl telling their NDE experiences without selling a book. Also why are pretty much all the experiences very similar? I've watched many Nde accounts and I've thought surely if the brain is simply becoming delusional with DMT etc than why not a very wide variety of experiences? Why are they all so similar upon death?
@@LM-cz4hi That's not true, I've watched hundreds, I would guess around 600 to 800 NDEs and they don't see a different god and beings, the beings and god are all very similar, the only differences is what is said to them, the landscapes/surroundings etc they are all mostly similar.
@@downzy007 Notice he mentions the Hindu god Yamraj. Chhajju Bania was interviewed in 1981, at which time he was about 40 years old. His near-death experience occurred some 6 years earlier. He became ill with a fever and his condition deteriorated until he was thought to have died, at which time his relatives began preparing his body for cremation. However, he revived, and he gave the following account of his experience as he remembered it afterward: Four black messengers came and held me. I asked, "Where are you taking me?" They took me and seated me near the god. My body had become small. There was an old lady sitting there. She had a pen in her hand, and the clerks had a heap of books in front of them. I was summoned ... One of the clerks said, "We don't need Chhajju Bania [the trader]. We had asked for Chhajju Kumhar [the potter]. Push him back and bring the other man. He [meaning Chhajju Bania] has some life remaining." I asked the clerks to give me some work to do, but not to send me back. Yamraj was there sitting on a high chair with a white beard and wearing yellow clothes. He asked me, "What do you want?" I told him that I wanted to stay there. He asked me to extend my hand. I don't remember whether he gave me something or not. Then I was pushed down [and revived]. www.near-death.com/religion/hinduism.html
@@LM-cz4hi sure, he was given the experience he would most understand, if Yamraj came to me, I'd be like... umm who are you? It's not common, some ppl see Jesus, other forms of death gods or anything really but most ppl simply talk of seeing a white light, beings, having a life review, maybe so n e relatives or even pets. I actually like hearing the more fantastical ones, they just aren't as common,,, their really is an almost standard nde... not to take away anything from anyone's accounts tho. my initial point was that I think they are real, theirs to much evidence n experiences that it couldn't be simply the brain kicking in a program designed unconsciously for the time of death, which s what a lot of science s pretty much saying.
A couple of years ago, my boyfriend killed himself the day after I broke up with him. You can imagine that this was extremely traumatic for me. At this time, i considered myself as an atheist/agnostic. Still I sometimes talked to him, because I was so devastated and in shock, I just couldn't handle the situation, because I felt so guilty and was so traumatized. Two month after his dead I walked through a dark park in the middle of the night, going home from a friends place. I cried and sobbed and started to talk to B. and told him that I couldn't handle the emotional pain. I pleaded him to forgive me and asked him something very private. The next day my sister called. We talked a bit, just smalltalk, and after a couple of minutes she said that she had to tell me something weird. She told me that B. had visited her in the morning and asked her to tell me something. I freaked out, I couldn't believe this. I asked her if she had actually seen him, and she said no, but she had a sudden feeling of B. being right by her side, and then she could hear his voice. He asked her to tell me that he had already forgiven me, that everything was alright. And then he gave her the answer to that specific question I had asked him the night before. Later, B. "visited" me, too, and he hugged me. I could feel it, and it was very intense. Of course I have no proof for this, and I don't expect anyone to believe me. But I for myself have the proof now, that life isn't over when we die. I've experienced more strange stuff in the last years, and usually I don't talk about it. Sorry for my bad English, I hope everything is understandable.
Thats the problem with these types of things: I want to believe it’s real but it probs could never be proved (I don’t want to say your lying and I hope this doesn’t offend you )
It's great because there was a serial killer who "died" for a few minutes before being resuscitated and HE went to explain that he saw Heaven. So I guess if Heaven is real, even mass murderers go there. What's your explanation for this, random Christian who decides to read my comment?
As a psychology student I've been working for the last few months on the nature of false memories. We've known for decades that people are notoriously bad at remembering events at the best of times, our memories are constructed and re-constructed and are prone to distortions when we are conscious and alert. So I don't value the reliability of people's eye-witness testimony when they are alive. Just imagine how much I don't value the reliability of someone who starts off their story with "Well I was dead and..."
It was this phenomenon that is puzzling my mind for a time now...how come some people predict the day at which they'll die? There have been some documented cases in my country, Romania when a monk or priest would write down the exact date and after some years he will day at the die he predicted! Is this some sort of psychological conditioning? I mean is it possible to make your brain shut down without physical trauma?
Venor Maddox I think a more likely explanation may be confirmation bias. It's like people claiming that they had a dream the night before they won the lottery, or dreamt about a sporting event happening in a certain way. Given there are 7 billion people doing thousands of things per day, it would be more amazing if someone wasn't right about these from time to time. I'm not sure if you are able to shut your brain down like that per se, but there are interesting correlations between time of death and psychological condition. For example a Swiss study of from 1969 to 2008 which included data from 2,380,997 dead people and found that you are 14% more likely to die on your birthday than the rest of the year. Although I believe this was only significant within people over 60. But there are also conditions like somatoform disorders which are symptoms that suggest physical illness or injury, but they cannot be traced to any underlying medical or neurological condition. Whether that could be so severe that it kills someone, I honestly don't know, but I wouldn't go as far to say it would be impossible
TheGlobalAtheism Regarding the topic of this video "I don't think it's caused by just a lack of oxygen. Inside our brains, we have a pineal gland which houses a molecule known as DMT. This molecule has been known to be released in times of extremely relaxation and stillness (meditation is an example of this). When someone is about to die or think they're about to die, most people will completely surrender in hopelessness and leave it up to fate (now of course this is all happening extremely fast). This surrender creates an immense relaxation which is the exact type of situation that is necessary for the chemical to be released into the brain. DMT is the most powerful hallucinogen in the world, and a concentrated dose being released directly into the brain from within the brain would cause absolutely immense visions along with intense feelings of joy and peace when accompanied by that sort of surrender to fate.. This is what I believe is the chemical function and reason why DMT is present in almost all life. So I believe most NDE are people tripping balls because of DMT (mainly because not all people have NDE most likely because they don't relax and are holding on for dear life lol), but i'm sure lack of oxygen is a big contribution as well."
Venor Maddox I couldn't have said it better myself. What I find most interesting is that not all of near death experiences actually coincide with brushes with death-one study (Owens, J.E., Cook, E.W., Stevenson) of 58 patients who recounted near-death experiences found 30 were not actually in danger of dying, although most of them thought they were. A 2005 study by Olaf Blanke1 and Shahar Arz found that out-of-body experiences can be artificially triggered by stimulating the right temporoparietal junction in the brain, suggesting that confusion regarding sensory information can radically alter how one experiences one's body. In addition, research now shows that a number of medicinal and recreational drugs can mirror the euphoria often felt in near-death experiences, such as the anesthetic ketamine, which can also trigger out-of-body experiences and hallucinations. Ketamine affects the brain's opioid system, which can naturally become active even without drugs when animals are under attack, suggesting trauma might set off this aspect of near-death experiences. I'll probably do a video about this to compile it all but it really is fascinating that we are able to explain the nature of NDE. But I can't help but feel they would be more impressive if they were after death experiences... Just a thought
There was a survey surveying people with near death experiences. Most said they felt peace and saw nothing but blackness, some say they were in an unearthly world. But they sure said it wasn't heaven nor hell. Just another planet. Some say they had past memories and saw their past and poof blackness and the feeling of peace strikes.
I used to be a "christian"...did everything I humanly could to "please" God. But I slowly faded out of it. Now the more I think about it and read into it, I feel like I need to be brainwashed to believe this stuff. And IMO religion teaches people they need to be dependent on something they can't see for strength, which I think dis-empowers the believer. I actually feel more confident in myself now that I don't believe.
Interesting. I used to be catholic and now im agnostic but since my name is Jesus but automatically think I fully believe in him. In my opinion I dont deny the existence of a higher being but theres not enough proof to believe in one either
When I was giving birth to my daughter I almost bled to death. I did not actually die. But I was near death. I saw no bright light but I did have a sense of peace that was so wonderful and freeing. It was like I was wearing chains my whole life and wasn't even aware of it till that moment. The father of my daughter was in the room with me, he was a very abusive man. Who I was very angry with at at that time, and wished was not in the room with me. I can honestly say I hated him with every inch of my heart.But at that moment for the first time I understood "The peace that passes understanding" as I looked at him I felt no anger or sorrow... only love and acceptance... the love was different then any other form I felt before.. it was a stronger more pure form of love that came without judgement... it was an amazing experiance. I never felt so peaceful or so free in my whole life. And say what you want about what caused this feeling I had it definately changed my life, and I will never be the same again.My brother did die in an ambulance from a car accident and the paramedics resuscitated him... he say did experiance hell like he swore he went there and hes story is really scary. I was(still am) a Christian when my experiance happened to me. My brother was not a christian when his experiance happened to him.He is now a Christian and that experiance is what made him choose to follow God. Take this and choose your own thoughts on this. As for me and my brother there is no convencing us that what we went through wasn't real or was only in our heads.
Some people die and see the "man in the moon" playing kickball and eating Cheetos. Why has no religion ever proposed that maybe when we die we will be subjected to an eternity of cheesy fingers? DANGEROUSLY CHEESY!
If Heaven is so great, wouldn’t these people be so upset that they came back to life? According to them,they already passed the test and made it to Heaven only to be kicked out and put back on Earth so that they can sin some more and lose their place in Heaven,
It must've been awkward at the pearly gates. God: "What are you doing here so early? *Checks holy watch* you're not scheduled til 20 years from now!" Them: "I died but not really." God: "Alright, I'll let you get a little sneak peak I guess."
I went into cardiac arrest twice during a routine procedure. Evidently I was allergic to the iodine dye. I did leave my body, but did not see any tunnels, no bright lights, no heaven. Grandma wasn't there to greet me. No, I watched as the doctors and nurses fought to save the life they had just taken from me. I can tell you exactly what I seen, what I heard, who was where and what was being done to save me. I believe out of body is a mechanism to protect ourselves from pain at that moment. I credit the doctors, nurses, medical students and everyone who went to school to become these people. Credit yourself for your accomplishments. Don't give them all to your God.
My favorite going to heaven story came from a fantasy book, goes like this: "I died, I was in the dark, then a light. I went into the light and I could see many people waiting to great me. Then I realized that every person that was there to great me, I owed them money."
I mean no disrespect to any non believers in a God but I would just like to say you don’t need pure evidence to prove any of the miraculous or painful things that happen in Life. When you just have trust in God everything good and bad you’ll begin to understand how we as humans can not process the complexity of his amazing vision, so if any one here is questioning Gods actions please consider this. Thank you
@Chris Duane revelations 4:6-11, revelations 7:11-12, revelations 11:16, revelations 15:2-3, revelations 21:19, Heaven is not a reward. your dedication will be returned with more dedication in monotony. Best turn away from that god who sees you as nothing more than its slave (colossians 4:1)
@Chris Duane you believe in god right and I assume you know the Bible well right...So tell me what does Alpheus mean and who was he in the New testament...?
I've had several dreams where I was a Jedi, and I really believed it was true while I was dreaming it. I believed I could fly, had a lightsaber, and could use the force. Doesn't mean I really *am* a Jedi.
Or maybe you're supposed to be a Jedi, but since you don't practice the rightful ways of the Force, you will never become what you are meant to be... Or maybe you're a lying Sith :O!!!!
What? No, that wheezing you hear is my asthma, not some life support system. That'd be ridiculous. It's asthma...from a river of molten rock. Molten rock asthma.
@@yoma9021 Damn holy fuck idk what was up with me the day I commented that, it's dark as hell I don't really know what you're asking here, all I was saying is that "black nothingness" could describe both dreamless sleep and death.
I've been pronounced legally dead twice in my life. Once from a gunshot, once while under anesthesia during surgery. The first time was for 20 minutes, the second time was for 15. All I remembered when those events happened was I went through a dark tunnel at incredible speed with a light at the end. Than when I was brought back during the gunshot incident, all I felt was overwhelming pain. And I was still asleep during the anesthesia incident so I don't even remember what happened then.
Either you weren't dead or you are just making things up In the medical field someone is announced dead when he is both physically and mentally unable to think or move
But the part of you that goes to heaven is your soul, right? That would mean that if your body wakes up while you're in heaven, you'd be a vegetable, your body unable to move because you're not present. So I call bull on this whole topic.
When I was a Christian, I had a vision of heaven, and it was much different than the typical version. I saw a city with streets paved with gold, mansions made of ivory, and a temple in the center decorated in gems.
@@brady.shocker I left religion entirely because i realised there was no evidence for Christianity or Islam, and I figured following no religion is better than following the wrong one, should a god or gods end up existing.
read revelation, and see the city you saw is just right there many nonchristian also reports seeing this city, isn't that interesting it matches well with your description
Also, can god not tell if you are really permanently dead or not? So your soul goes to heaven and then god's like "oh, sorry, my mistake, but I need you to go back to your body for a while". One would expect better from an omnipotent deity.
Let me prove that I am God by predicting the future. In the summer, there will be sun. In autumn, leaves will turn from green to red, brown and yellow. In winter there will be snow.
Haha, your sarcasm goes against you, the bible talks about things that are happening TODAY, the microchip, Israel falling down, hell being the earths core, etc. Before trying to be funny and adding a sarcastic comment, try looking up things that the bible predicted that actually became true, you'd be surprised.

Anyone that has been decapitated, burned, or any certain way of dying does not come back from the dead to talk about heaven. The "heaven" that these people talk about is in their brain, nothing else.
Why is that people who say they died and went to heaven don't stay? If heaven is such a great and wonderful place then why aren't more people rushing trying to get out of this world to get there? Why wait until you're old and decrepit? Go now..PLEASE!!! The world will be a better place
Actually, I think once you realize where you are without being judged first, you get sent back. Kinda like how when you are arrested you wait trial, its the same thing in heaven.
because if you kill your self you go to hell. you see we were created by god by him and for him, to acknoledge he exist and to give him all his deserving glory.
***** Him? How do you know it is a him? Does it have the necessary reproductive gear required of a him? Why would it need to be a him? I think you overlooked a strange idea in whatever version of the bronze age fables you happen to subscribe to. When you came into this life, what part of a him did you come out of? Or did it need to be a him so he could have sex with his mother to conceive himself and be born (get out your calculators and wait for it) both 100% human and capable of being killed and 100% god and not being capable of being killed at the same time. Then to complete his genius plan of tricking his creations into killing him to forgive his imperfect creations for being imperfect, thus forgiving himself for his own failure? Please tell me this isn't even close to what you claim deserves this glory thing, whatever the hell that is....
Daniel Dennett because only if you look for him , you will receive the holy spirit and all the questions become clear all doubt is shattered. and he is coming soon so don't delay .
that college professor died he went to hell he was an atheist he prayed Jesus came and healed his wounds and the angels starting telling him what he did wrong in his life he came back to life and told the story he broke down in tears at the end
The thing is, a person is only dead when brain activity is entirely gone. For the most part hospitals declare a person dead after a certain amount of time after no heart beat. If they can't restart the heart. However, this actually doesn't mean the person is dead. As long as the brain has activity, you could be dreaming about anything. You could be having hallucinations. Then when this person comes to later then expected. They where declared dead, when they really never where. Dead is dead, there is no coming back from it. Then they go to explain their story, and those around them are like "Oh ya. . that DID happen!" However, people in the situation don't hold a very good memory of what exactly happened 100% of the time. So they become easily influenced by the story and they agree that it happened. If I am running down frantically down a hall way in the hospital hoping for a loved one, does anyone really expect me to remember something a may have said? For all I know, it could be anything. So if that loved one says, I saw you and you said "blah blah bah" I will think about it knowing I may have or may not have actually said something. I think harder and realize .. oh you know what .. I think I did say that! Yet it never happened -.- I believe scientists have confirmed this many times in studies that people do things like this all the time. Even passed memories. You believe something that actually never happened.
I would also want someone to explain why people who are Muslims go to Muslim heaven, people who are Hindu have a particularly Hindu based experience and so on... if Heaven was real, everyone who died and went there would experience the same place, but the only ones that descrbe the same things are members of the same religions... clearly indicates it's the brain and not a real experience.
Yes it is believed that dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is released when the person is near death. It's a psychedelic compound, so it would explain why we some weird shit.
justsaynotodrugs It's a hypothesis, not a theory. But you're right, though Potts, the man who wrote the book about DMT, said that it likely plays a role in NDE's. Ketamine, epinephrine, steroids and adrenaline are released along with DMT, all together they may account for the dreams.
justsaynotodrugs Not truth, a possibility. I never once claimed that anything I stated was indeed a proven fact, nor did I even hint at that. Even in my first post I said "It is believed" not "It is proven". There are plenty of hypothesis about where NDE's come from, lack of oxygen, blood loss, it might be a type of REM sleep, plenty of hypothesis. I just happen to find the chemical argument slightly more compelling.
Wait a moment, if he went to heaven than how did he come back, and don't say he was revived, because that just says to me that your god isn't very powerful if human intervention can remove someone from the most holy and eternal place to ever be. Try again. and try a little harder next time. I'll be here all year round.
And shouldn't those people actually be PISSED that they came back???? After all, they made it, they were in Heaven!!! and then, bumer... they got sent back to down here, where they will have to live on and (who knows?) screw it up along life and not even make it to Heaven when death comes for real.
" Really? So, from that moment on anything goes. A guy can kill and rape all he wants, since he's cool with Jesus he's garanteed in." If one is a true born again Christian he really shouldn't have the desire to do such things to begin with. In case you didn't know when you become a true born again Christian there is a change that occurs from the person you once were to the person you become afterwards. If such a change hasn't occurred then you are likely not a true born again Christian. The very statement of "born again" indicates a change from how you once were into something new.
It's all a state of mind. My "heaven" is more like a house in the middle of nowhere, with every form of nature around me. Not so much the whole clouds and harps thing, then again I'm not Christian any how
you know there are near death experiences from various cultures right? it's not just christians. those experiences do differ many times. also, it's hard to prove whether these people were correct, or hallucinating. prove that you feel love for your family. prove that your blue is my blue.
What is your point. Of course people from different cultures experience different after life hallucinations, because their cultures are different! To make your argument mean something, you should prove that people in the same culture experience totally different after life, otherwise, your point is a rubbish. And the second part, what the fudge is that, prove love? What is the point? Isn't it a stupid/void argument that every Christians use when they cannot prove their god?
Jeong-hun Sin lol? did you watch the video? 3:30 - 3:47 "and it's always a christian version of heaven too. you never heard a Buddhist say i got reincarnated. . ." regarding your next sentence, he pointed out in a video that people should do a simple google search and research before saying things. i did a simple google search on near death experiences, and found tons of "testimonials." like i said, it's hard to prove whether people are correct or hallucinating. finally, 1) you're avoiding my final argument to prove that what he perceives as blue is what i perceive as blue, and 2) i never said i was a christian. my point with it all was that he cannot prove people were having a hallucination or near death experience, as there are some things in life that aren't easily proved, or we can't prove. gosh, i cant believe i actually had to respond. thought it was pretty obvious.
Lauren Spradlin to prove correct or hallucination is to prove reality which good luck with that. point one addressed as well as point two because they look about the same. to me this video seems to simply suggest that these stories are not as true as they are taken which he seems to think they are taken without question and used as solid irrefutable evidence to support a belief. I hope some people just start to think and civilly discuss their ideas.
William Smith what i dont understand, is why make a video on something you yourself arent sure on, and then go on to speak as if your views are correct. he states at 4:21 - 4:30 "they want to believe that there is something waiting for us on the other side . . . but there isn't . . . " how does he know? he doesn't. also, he consistently claims they are hallucinations. most probably are, but he has no proof anymore than we have proof they went to heaven. it would be one thing to just say "hey, other than actually going to heaven, hallucination might be the cause of said experience." but that's not what he says.
What your saying is totally valid as far as I understand, but if you haven't notice the opposition does that to. he could be doing it ironically, but I'm not in his head. maybe it's not so much his fault as it is human language. maybe he just didn't know the right words. it sound silly since you had another way to say it, but heck still possible that those aren't the right words for what he is trying to say either. also thanks for having an intelligent comment on youtube. these are so rare.
Dude, I was like struck by lightning and then I died. And I saw freaking Zeus! He was like: "Sup dude, Sorry for hitting you by accident, there you go back to life!" Since then I believe in those guys.
Hi Hemant, I'm an atheist and i had a near-death-experience 19 yrs ago which made my heart stop for three and a half minutes due to a car-accident. I was re-animated back to life after the third electric shock attempt through a defibrillator. Yeah, there was a tunnel experience and all that but there was no "last judgement" as in the bible or a God for that matter.I just met my cousin who had died a year previously and all he said was that it wasn't my time yet to "pass through" the light. As far as i am concerned my NDE-experience was crystal-clear proof that there exists no God or angels nor Hell for that matter.
@@jezzatheboss4508 What's there more to tell about it ? i conveyed my NDE as clear and as short as i can. It was a crystal-clear experience and my cousin and i went through key experiences in my life in three-dimension, as if i was there and up to the point of my accident. And as i wanted to "go to the light", my cousin stopped me and said that it wasn't my time, that i still had "things to do" in my life. That's it.
@@jezzatheboss4508 To Jezza, In my effort to make sense of my NDE experience in 1996, i searched through the net of people who had similar experiences like me; and funny enough, most of what happens to everybody after you expire your last heartbeat are eerily similar in process. So, as to your question if you will experience a similar path after you die ? I can say with certainty, Yes Jezza, more or less the same. I grew up with a few different religions and i fit into the category of someone who had not committed crimes and pains onto other people, so probably that determines how i died and the experience i had before i was brought back to life. I cannot speak for how murderers, thieves and liars will experience their after-life experience and where they will end up.
I had a thought: If they are so confident that this happens, why isn't there any funding on projects where "scientists" do research and device methods on how to get a person "dead enough" that they can go to heaven and back?
I’ve had multiple dreams about what Heaven is like and they were extremely weird. None of them were like any existing idea of Heaven that I’ve heard of and they were extremely dissimilar. Because they were just dreams, although they were awesome dreams.
There was a man that came to fix my dryer and he had a bullet hole scar. He told me he was shot and he died and went to hell he saw black figures and he felt anguish and started crying out to Jesus to save him and the black figures were getting closer to him and surrounding him. The doctors were able to bring him back and he changed his whole life after that and converted to Christian
How come nobody sees Hell and comes back? Does Satan know when you really die and better understands human biology more than God, who seems to guess whether or not you're actually dead?
I gotta say good job on the videos on this channel. I really like them because I'm a teenage atheist, and it's great to know there are people that agree with me and share the same views when at my school I am virtually surrounded by religious nuts lol. Keep doing what your doing man
Well, look. You're talking to a guy who doesn't give any credence to mythology. But to play Devil's Advocate suppose this. Suppose whatever the Great Spirit who created heaven is, it has taken boredom into account and has provided for that too. I mean, after all, if it can keep all of us alive indefinitely, it can protect us from boredom too, no?
bachtobebop The older you get, young fellow, the less what you want to do involves "sin". Look, there's no after life. That's obvious. But one can try to imagine for sport.
Carl Favorito You know after you die there is no time. Like times out. Instead only events which are forever. Time is more of a human factor to keep track of things. Most people want to kill time anyway. Those people rather not have God (who represents no excuses). Well I'm just trying to make things logical.
The difference if there's no heaven is huge. It would mean that religions did lie for centuries about it, forcing people to live according with rules created by a few men to get power upon millions of others.
I've had a near death experience. Something bizarre that felt absolutely wonderful with an feeling of peace and happiness beyond anything I know how to describe. But I don't have proof and my personal experience shouldn't compel anyone other than myself to believe there is something special that happens when we die. BTW I am also an atheist. I've had the feeling of lack of oxygen to the brain and loss of conscienceless due to drugs, lack of oxygen. Nothing has can even compare to the experience I had during my NDE. I am not saying it was heaven or anything else. It simply leads me myself and I to believe there is something "more" to this life than we understand.
What I never got is how people think that a God who is supposed to be all-knowing is stupid enough to take someone to the afterlife when he knows they aren't really dying. If you 'came back', your earthly life was not over, and you did not actually die because your brain had to have at least trace activity the whole time, so you never really went anywhere... And knowing that you were not actually dying, why would God's actions be controlled by an early tentative diagnosis of death by a doctor or machine or a person's heart stopping temporarily, and why would that be a criteria for taking your soul anywhere anyway, especially if He really knows you are going to live?
Peter Pringle Everybody thinks they are like their favorite fictional character Jesus... That they come back from actually being dead... when we know this doesn't happen, that their brains stay alive, or else they never wake up. You aren't special, if God exists and does not wish to affect people's free will, then he would not be showing people heaven so that they could 'come back' and talk about it (especially since we know that their brains stayed alive and they never really went anywhere in the first place...) The fact is that people hallucinate under certain circumstances, like when the brain is starved of oxygen from the heart stopping. The brain releases a very powerful hallucinogen called DMT. Now go kneel in front of a priest and stroke a load down your throat.
We aren't God, and we don't know His intentions. Only God knows His intentions. The only reason we have ever thought up of as to why He created the universe is to display His glory. Our minds are like a trillionth of the size of an atom compared to God, therefore we can not begin to comprehend His greatness.
sdasds sadsd The link was for the gentleman, who did not hesitate to imply with his comment, that in fact there are no book discussing a trip to hell and back. There are plenty of books and the specific book I had posted, just happens to be a favorite of mine. Why do people not choose to read books about hell? Why do people choose to not read the Bible? Maybe, ignorance truly in bliss. Maybe, if hell is not acknowledge it will simply cease to exist. Unfortunately, this is false and the Bible does a very good job of giving us all a picture of the place called, Hell. It is a place for pure torment for those who have denied, Jesus Christ. Yes, we are all sinner, but Jesus dies on the cross so that your slate could be wiped clean. He can only save you from your sins if you ask. Just study his word. I'm not going to post a ton of verses on here. You seem bright enough to search them out for yourself. I would also recommend reading the book I had posted. There is plenty of scripture within to help you better understand. I hope you search this out thoroughly. Also, you will find in your studies there is a heaven, and it is a wonderful amazing place.
This comment is for the gentlelady who take's every word out of a persons mouth literally: If you didn't notice, it's common in our society to use the term "no one" as an over exaggeration for terms that explain that "a small amount of people" do or don't do this or that. Here's an example of a situation that this term would be used in. -Jimmy: "Hey Bob, wanna go to the library with me?" -Bob: "No, hahaha, no one goes to the library anymore." You see, in this situation, Bob know's that people still go to the library, it is just less frequent nowadays due to technology. Similar to the situation in the example above, I know that there are people that talk about how they went to hell and back, it is just less frequent than people talking about going to heaven. I hope this helps you understand a bit better.
People are aware of the fact that some day, their life will end and it frightens them. So what they do is cook up self-consoling concepts such as heaven and hell. The bronze age yokel, who was heavily influenced by church fathers and clerics, bought it and passed it on from one generation to another. Give me the boy till the age of 7 and I'll give you the man. That is the mantra with all religions. Follow the religion of your parents.
I thought that too but then think about how you thought about stuff in that darkness I can remember thinking in English but when you're nothing how do you know how to think in a language you never learned
I'm surprised that none of these people that have died for a short time have been to hell. I mean, considering the amount of strict rules and guidelines a religious person has to follow you'd think going to Hell is easier than going to Heaven. The mind chooses what it wants to believe I guess.
Well chances are nightmares we don't want to remember. But hell sucks. I recall being shot at in the heart and it felt like the first time someone I loved left me. Like a spear through the heart. Also, there were human possession sessions where I knew what was going to unfold and I tried to warn the person I was possessing not to make this mistake but he did anyway and I had to sit through it. Also, I recall trying to get a "Second Chance" on earth and fighting people to the top of a pyramid looking thing. Anyways religion is just like politics it never can be agreed upon because of the cyclical motion of time and the close mindedness of the simpletons.
vis atrade Ah, so you're adopting the old "people don't understand my unfounded nonsense, so I'll act superior - 'you wouldn't understand it' ". THAT'S not been tried before, has it? If you're going to make such claims, give us ANY proof - just an iota, go on. And "cyclical motion of time"? Please! I swear you're just making this up - if time is cyclical that should be VERY easy to prove, so do show us some evidence of it repeating.
I'm not reinforcing any validity in these people's stories, but if God did exist, the idea of Hell would logically and philosophically contradict the very personality of God himself. It would be against His very nature of being omniscient and loving; for if God is omniscient, he must know that we're going to sin, and therefore cannot *still* condemn us to Hell, as then he would be malevolent, and not loving. This is why nobody has been to Hell, because God did not create Hell to condemn us there, He created it to cast Satan and those angels that rebel against him in. The reason that nobody has witnessed a different religions' idea of Heaven is because no other religion is correct except the Christian religion. This is why they all see the Christian Heaven. Now, the reason they see angels and all the cliche stuff is because Heaven will appear to you as whatever you picture it to be, so seeing as many Christians see Heaven in that basic way: White clouds, angels, golden doors and roads, it would make sense that since this is what they see Heaven as and Heaven appears in the way you see it as, that they should see it this way.
***** Your comment starts out open-minded but skeptical (if God did exist), but then you blatantly contradict that (The reason that nobody has witnessed a different religions' idea of Heaven is because no other religion is correct except the Christian religion). Are you a POE?
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6
I'm Buddhist. Experienced a motorcycle accident that knocked me out upon impacting the cement. What I saw... what seemed at the very instance after impact was seeing a light growing in size rather quickly... relating the experience as the light being golfball size at arms length having enlarged to a baseball at same length. It got no larger because it suddenly stopped growing, remaining suspended. Having a really good look at the light, it didn't cast light North, South, East, or West of its position, but had a very directional quality like a beam. Next, what seemed a second of time, an energy cloud like nebula in space... but silver, white, pulsating, mixing in and of it began encapsulating me from behind til it closed off my entire view of the light to the point my Conscious eye saw nothing but pulsing energy. Then that energy opens up in my front view where the light was no longer seen, but only dark empty space. The whole experience seemed 10 seconds duration. But a bystander and the man of the car who pulled in front of me were able to tell me I was unconscious for no more than 5 minutes.
May, 2, 2015 I died in a head on collision. I was pronounced dead for 45 minutes, death certificate signed. Doctor at UT are baffled on how and I'm not a vegetable. I never saw "the light". Heaven and hell don't exist. Bottom line.
These cases of people who were "dead" for a while before ressuscitation are merely semantic. "Legally dead" is not the same thing as "dead". It means a set of arbitrary physiological parameters that doctors use to stop trying to bring people back, because the rate of success is statistically negligible, and it's not worth the effort anymore. But, as any statistic significance, a negligible possibility, given enough tries, eventually is gonna happen. And then religious people come back with this white light/heaven/paradise bullshit. I never heard of an atheist who came back with tales of hanging out with angels. Probably because they know weird stuff happen in your brain when you're unconscious. If in sleep, a daily and necessary state of dormency, dreams can get real crazy, imagine what almost dying does to the brain chemistry. But make no mistake: no doctor can bring back people who died. If they came back, it just mean they are the exception from the arbitrary rule that determines that, when a person presents those data at the monitors, they're not coming back ever.
SuperSaiyanMaze Haha. Well there is evolution at work there. Some peoples brains are not evolved like some. Evolution doesn't always have to be a physical trait :P.
➖➖ *During post-surgery discussions with their patients many doctors and nurses are shocked to learn that their patient was able to accurately describe the medical procedures that had been performed on them while their brain was unconscious (anesthetized), because the patient's consciousness was hovering near the ceiling in the operating room and observing the operation. This constitutes powerful evidence that consciousness may be independent of the brain, and that there may be an afterlife.* ➖➖
whether or not you believe it is a real experience or just an illusion situated in the brain, cant people just agree that it is still a beautiful experience. I mean i dont think i care all to much if someone tells me its real or a hallucination, either way when i die id like to at least experience something like that illusion or not, ill still enjoy it. People are taking this way to pessimistically.
***** i dont see how believing in this is a bad thing for anybody. It helps people cope, and find a peace of mind. Even if you dont believe you can still respect the beliefs of other people.
JTelli786 When they try to force everyone else to believe the same thing based on a hallucination their brain produced when it was in its death throws, and are willing to commit violence or enact legislation based on those hallucinations, then there are problems.
JTelli786 They probably don't argue on the basis of their NDE and whether it is real (though I have had those discussions before), but they will use their NDE to reinforce whatever their religious beliefs already were. If they were Christian, then now they are absolutely sure that Christianity is correct. There is no excuse in their minds to _not_ do what they think their religion requires. If they have relatively tame religious beliefs, then that's fine. If their beliefs dictate that they need to pound on my door at 9am on Saturday morning or try to establish a theocracy, then I have problems with it. I also have a problem in general with just accepting something as true because it makes you feel good. I think it is more productive for the individual and the society as a whole to only accept things that are actually true.
I have been clinically dead 3 times and each time all I can recall of it is darkness and varying temperatures. I was cold at first, then warm, then I woke up. Makes perfect sense to me for totally natural biological reasons. I couldn't see, hear or smell anything due to lack of sensory input because my body had shut down almost completely. When there are no working nerves that means there is no information for the brain to interpret. Since I obviously wasn't brain dead yet, otherwise I would not be here, my brain was still processing what little information it could and was interpreting my body shutting down to a feeling of cold. Then when they revived me and my heart started beating again, pumping my blood through my body and warming it, that was the first thing my brain registered before I awoke. Simple biology. I will admit that the first time it happened I interpreted it differently, based solely on my feelings. At the time, it felt as if I was freezing to death then someone threw a warm blanket around me and pulled me back. I could have attributed it to some supernatural cause because that is how it felt, but after thinking on it and it happening again two more times, I realized that it was just my brain interpreting information. All of what I experienced is easily explained by basic human biology and is not some miraculous occurrence. Just thought I would share that in counter to all those near death stories you usually hear. Also I was still a Christian when it happened the first time, but I had already rejected the concept of heaven and hell. Keep up the awesome work!
There are real, scientific explanations for all NDE story lines: *Bright light*: oxygen starved optical neurons fire all at once, creating the impression of a dot of white light. *Tranquility*: body ODs on endorphines *Hallucinations*: on shutting down, the pineal gland releases produced psychedelic tryptamines, including DMT. *Out-of-body experience*: Induced by brain trauma, sensory deprivation, dehydration, and even simple electrical stimulation of the brain. (People even experience OoBEs while falling asleep, or sleeping.) But, of course, it feels much better to pretend having really gone to a happy place like told exists according by religion...
People write books about how they went to heaven and saw Jesus, and they get best seller awards. I talk about how I went to Asgard and battled with the almighty Odin, and I get meds.
Norse Paganism is so much cooler than Christianity even if Norse Paganism is crazier.
Vithrue So very, Very true, You should watch the TV show Vikings.
praise thor.
Typical. Whenever it's what they DO believe in they're like "Yeah! Totally!" but when it's something they DON'T believe in they're like "You're crazy, man." Hypocrites.
The Grand Chewbacca That Isn't Hypocritical, Hypocritical is when you say "This Is Wrong!" and then you yourself do it. Get words right man.
I died and went to Hell once. (Bullet wound to the chest.) When I met Satan, I told him, "Bitch, get the fuck off my throne." Then he kicked me out of Hell, and well, here I am back on Earth.
+Robert Chambers haha good one
I laughed at this harder than I should've
+Robert Chambers a child has paint the true image of jesus christ isn't that an evidence those children doesn't even have the enough knowledge or skill to paint that bitch
+Robert Chambers ...my dear Sir:
When yew showed up in Hades wuz The Bitch wearin Prada...? I'm like Ciao Sebastian: i laughed harder than is healthy!
Have you ever noticed that people who are hindus, buddhists, pagans, who died but came back to life haven't reported they saw heaven (nor hell).
James wait a second... are you trying to tell me that ... THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIE?!? O_O
Tjorben Eckermann yeah the church tend to do that a lot
James They have the wrong religion so they don't get to see heaven... Tough luck :)
Raf Kiss
How is there a wrong religion? How is there a right religion?
How can anyone know their religion is correct when there are quite a few religions out there, if any ARE correct?
***** To me, ALL religions are equally untrue. I was joking by stating something that some Christians would argue... Apparently, according to James' statement, only Christians come back after dying and say they "saw Heaven", because (according to Christians) Christianity is the only true religion... ok? Cheers
My wife had her throat cut in a robbery many years ago when she was working the midnight shift at a little store. She died on the operating table while the doctor was trying to put her throat back together. They lost her for about 4 minutes. She lived in a small town so news traveled fast. She was visited by several local clergy because at the time she was a southern Baptist Christian. They questioned her about her experience. When she told then she didn't know until the doctor told her about it, they refused to believe her. One even told her she was an idiot and could make millions if she would just "play the game". My wife is an Atheist now.
Wow... Well, happy you're wife survived!
#truth..
Anthony Pellissier lucky her, a cut throat is serious!
Anthony Pellissier its wonderful that your wife survived that. But those clergies were jerks. That is not right.
Anthony Pellissier. There is scientific information about this, and you don't need God to explain it. I hope your life is going good
I went to heaven. It's called burgerking.
There was bacon.
you are adorable
Graoutchmeuh loool
I read that when we die, our brain still goes on for 7 minutes... This could explain this and the white light.. There is an explanation for EVERYTHING. All you need to do is read books.
+Awoman WithoutReligion of course! life has explanation for EVERYTHING. If we can't find it.. we just have to look harder. We still have much to learn about the world and space. It is a paradox that anything can exist without an explanation.
i didnt watch the whole, but if he is talking about the book "Proof of the heaven" then you're wrong. The guy is a neurosurgeon, and clearly explained that while he was dead, the part of the brain that allows a human to dream was completely off, which made it impossible to be a hallucination. Not sure abt the details but ill check out his book.
+Joe Haddad He wasn't dead if he came back to life, dipshit.
TowerTheGamer He was clinically dead for nearly 45 minutes.
+Joe Haddad So he APPEARED dead.
In a few hundred years or sooner your personal God will be regarded as a pagan god and a myth, as all other gods before have been, then this lunacy will end and the world will be set free.
But by then, there will be another religion that has taken the role of Christianity and the other big religions. And I doubt that it will disapear in just a few hundred years, since it has become so deeply rooted into society.
Marstroll Hey, one can hope though right? The more we talk about this being just part of our nature to see patterns where there are none, that it's a collective mild version of schizophrenia. Or it's just an excuse for people to fulfill their need for belonging and a mechanism to instill their children with values. Even though if questioned on their own, most theists may admit they don't believe in half of the supernatural stuff each "religion" asks them to believe.
Maybe not a 100 probably a thousand years, history tells us that Gods tend to hang on for a while until one random day, people have a popularity contest show of hands and decide the next imaginary thing to believe just like what they did in emperor constantine's time when they decided to believe in christianity and make it main stream, while abandoning Zeus and friends. (thats not just a joke that literally how it happen in history.) its sad XD
jack5001ful
Totally agree, and for a fun fact, Posiedon has never got over it, that's why through his tears the oceans are rising.
Poseidon63 Really??? thats sounds true. I have faith that what you're saying is real we should start a new poseidon cult and in 1000 years people will believe it and anew religion is born. :D
The real question is that would the kid even see "heaven" if no one even told him about heaven or teach him Christianity?
Hehe, course not, would've just been a dream then.
You realize that kid admitted he lied
So you believe that some ordinary dreams can actually change people's lives and science is every single time randomly wrong when a blind person gets healed or this whole world was created out of nothing?

Lassi yes, how would the Big Bang even happen? If there was NOTHING before the Big Bang, what caused it? That’s why God has to be real HE HAS TO BE. There’s no way.

nyxxie023 If I'm not mistaken that's not an NDE just a crazy christian acid trip. lol.
nyxxie023 You mean of that guy who had a bad dream and woke up?
(Look up the book...thats what it is) LOL
John Henderson I didn't know we were speaking of merely NDEs. But anyway, it's all batshit, right? Are you saying that a non-NDE heaven/hell trip wouldn't also be crazy?
Nobody describes Hell experiences because Endorphines, Serotonine and Dopamine are pleasure substances..
Heh funny, a girl in my school died and came back then people asked her what heaven was like she replied "it was all black"
SuperCrazyCrasher she went to hell then
Miracle Whip Isn’t hell suppose to be on flames? It wouldn’t be black
My mother in law had a heart attack and she was revived, she said "there was nothing but darkness, but I felt peaceful". My nephew was in a car accident, he died in the ambulance twice, but was brought back both times, we asked him if he had seen anything, he said "no, I didn't even know I died, I was unconscious".
i died wehen i was 13 and it was black too. but it was the best feeling i ve ever had in my life. so relaxing. i had lost a lot of blood though. it must be the reason for feeling like i was falling into black dark bliss.
In my opinion, i think when you actually die, you forget everything about your life unless you come back to life and you forget about Heaven.
I met a woman who told me when she died she didn't go to heaven or hell she just saw soldiers holding guns to her head. It actually scared the hell out of me when I was younger.
Technically I was dying back in 2007. When they put me under for surgery I had a dream I was a cowboy. When I came home from the hospital I spotted a pony outside of my bedroom window, on the horse farm across the road. IT'S A SIGN!!
My father had a big heart operation a couple of years ago. His favourite piece of history is the American Civil War. When he came round he told me that he had heard fighting in the corridors of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and had seen Confederate and Union soldiers marching up and down.

Yes. A minor issue with today's medicine but I had appendicitis. If I had not received medical care I would have died.

What are you talking about, all he does is belittle everything religious.
catchthesun15 Nah, he's about as respectful as you can expect from someone who thinks that religion is absolute nonsense. I agree that he points out what's wrong with religion, but what do you expect?
If this were a political debate and we disagreed with each other, we would do our best to poke holes in each other's arguments. As long as we are respectful to each other, we need not bother being respectful of the argument.
If you're not going to be respectful of the argument, then why bother having it? If you care enough about the topic to debate it, then you need to be respectful of it as well.

i live in japan, and i've heard many stories from japanese people (usually on tv) about them having a near-death experience and "going to heaven". however, what they tend to see on their deathbed is nothing like westerners do: many japanese people claim that, in their near-death experience, they saw a single river in front of them, which they were about to cross but did not. pretty different from the christian heaven with angels and harps and stuff, huh?
well, this river actually originates from a famous buddhist mythology; it is said to separate life here on earth and the afterlife, and once you get to the other side of the river, you're a goner. as you may know, japan is a country that's heavily affected by buddhist tradition, and even people who don't identify as religious are still exposed a lot to buddhist customs and stories. thus, it makes total sense that they would see things that resemble the buddhist view of afterlife rather than the christian one, since their brains can't generate what they're not familiar with.
christians, i know what you're thinking, and you're right, this doesn't disprove your religion nor the presence of heaven. however, i do think that this proves how these near-death experiences are nothing more than just people hallucinating, or at least, that these stories about heaven aren't that reliable, since people from different cultures see totally different things.
Ppl see things when they are near-death
Yep there is the proof
Oh oh oh!!! I'm laughing so hard now!!!!! River, seeing your grandparents reaching their hands to you. Typical anime trope! XDDDDD
japan you betrayed me!
i thought japanese are advanced...
Although people in other cultures and religions don't go to “Heaven”, they do have Near Death Experiences. I wrote a report about NDEs in high school (my English teacher hated it; she was a conservative Christian) and looked into a few specific NDE claims (I basically searched for the supposed best cases for NDEs being supernatural; it turns out they aren't all that good), as well as looking at general reports on the nature of NDEs. One of my favorite factoids from that is that Indians tend to have NDEs about office buildings. NDEs tend to have similar components based on where you live; it's all cultural.
Near death means not completely dead.
@@arunkumarmondal6488
Stating the obvious can be fun!
Crossing that veil at times does not necessiate an NDE ..I was able to cross that veil while awake ..the veil that seprates the Spirit realm from our physical world. I was praying to God n my bedroom when it happened. God is real..and these last days ..many are seeing visions of God even while awake..some during NDE. It is written in Bible prophecy that young and old, male and female will dream dreams and see visions of the Spirit realm. Take advantage of it..ask God to show you a vision..come to Him in repentance and seek Him with all your heart and He will make Himself known to you.
@@mikeygarcia8271
I could also claim my dreams are real, but I don't think flapping my arms actually helps me fly. Please keep your nonsense to yourself, thank you.
@@badlydrawnturtle8484 You know what truly spells the difference between those who just had hallucinations with those who had a real personal experience with God and the spiritual realm?
Those who had hallunications never came back with something tangible to prove the validity of their experience, while those who had a personal experience with God or in the spiritual realm came back with tangible proof in the form of the following:
1. A miraculous recovery from a fatal illness or from a high risk surgery that even doctors are so dumbfounded they consider these recoveries as nothing short of a miracle.
2. These people who have had real experience in the spiritual realm come with stories they would not have known had they not been told by the spiritual beings who spoke to them while in heaven.
Case in point:
1. DR. EBEN ALEXANDER, BRAIN SURGEON
He only came to know that he had a sister after his near death experience. He was an only child of his adopted parents. His adoption was not disclosed and was kept a secret so he never got to meet his one and only sister who died years ago.
How did he find out he had a sister after his NDE?
He said during his journey in heaven, he met this woman who had so much love for him. She became his guide during his journey in the spiritual realm.
When this brain surgeon came back to life and recovered, he became so curious about the identity of the woman and shared with his parents how he felt so connected, on a soul level, to this woman.
His parents then revealed to him that he was adopted and that he had a sister who died years ago..and so to cut the story short, he set out to get more information about his sister and was able to get hold of her picture. He was flabbergasted as the woman in the picture is exactly the same woman who guided him during his journey in the heavenly realm. He became a cganged man after his NDE. He now believes in God. [He used to be an atheist]
as far as I'm concerned, these "heaven" experiences are hallucinatory events that occur within the mind, and are essentially the mind trying to comfort you in the final moments before your death.
What about the times when people come back to life and say they had no experience of anything? Is that evidence that god doesn't exist?
No one comes "back to life" as such. They were never dead as such. Okay, technically when someone's heart stops they are "dead", and it can sometimes be restatred. Maybe they'd have to be properly dead before going off to heaven... not just a bit dead/dying.
The answer is, no. that doesn't prove god doesn't exist. So someone who comes back and says they went to heaven, is not proof of heaven.
Of course it's not proof of heaven. People say and believe a lot of stuff that hasn't been proven and in many cases won't be because it's not true or is unable to be proven by science.
***** When someone stops breathing or their heart stops the brain stops functioning quickly due to lack of oxygen/blood supply. There's lots of knowledge about this, including how quickly someone's brain cells start to die after oxygen or blood supply is cut.
they may have forget their experince after taking after-surgery drugs
In heaven there is an unending supply of cat videos. No, wait - that's UA-cam.
This is just my story. It is not proof of anything.Three months ago I had a massive heart attack. My heart stopped and I stopped breathing for 4 minutes. Eventually the trauma team got my heart started again by pounding on my chest and after a couple of shocks with the paddles, to get the correct rhythm back, I was stabilized They rushed me to an OR and put two stents into my heart arteries. I am still weak but doing pretty good now. Well anyway, while I had no heart beat and was not breathing for 4 minutes, all I experienced was blackness and peace. I had no out of body experience, no white light, no dead relatives to meet me, heaven or hell, just peace. Maybe blackness is just my brain's way of trying to remember experiencing nothing.Just my experience, take it or leave it.
nuimaleko7 maybe that was an hallucination because you were dying? That's what I've learnt from from Reading and watching YT videos, I could be wrong tho.
This is ok when you are almost dead and its possible that u see like threes dead family members or something. Its sicence.
There 3 explanation, 1 You don't remember if you experienced something (Which happens in most case they only remember it a few months ago)
2, You were just unconscious so your brain wasnt dead yet
3 There is nothing after life or, "heaven"is basically blackness
Maybe Heaven is PEACE. Nothing wrong with that.
Interesting.
One time I was having an asthma attack in my sleep, and I dreamed I saw Jesus. And then in th I said "what just because you show up I'm supposed to believe in you now? Plbth!" Then flicked him off. I then woke up, and the asthma attack was gone.

HyPr SHOTS true
"I was almost dead, my brain wasn't fnctioning properly, but please believe my crazy dreams!" ... Eh, no? When someone goes to heaven while being 100% healthy, I may take them seriously, but not when they're in a state that is very likely to bring on hallucinations and mess up your memory.
Those authors, are they lying, or do they believe what they're saying? Well, if they sell the books at a normal price, I'm going to go ahead and say they're lying. IF they're giving the information away for free, I'm willing to think they believe what they're saying. Still, without evidence to back it up, I'm still going to assume they're wrong/delusional.
Do you still believe this? I've come across many ppl telling their NDE experiences without selling a book. Also why are pretty much all the experiences very similar? I've watched many Nde accounts and I've thought surely if the brain is simply becoming delusional with DMT etc than why not a very wide variety of experiences? Why are they all so similar upon death?
@@downzy007 People from different religions see different things and beings/gods, so they're not all similar.
@@LM-cz4hi That's not true, I've watched hundreds, I would guess around 600 to 800 NDEs and they don't see a different god and beings, the beings and god are all very similar, the only differences is what is said to them, the landscapes/surroundings etc they are all mostly similar.
@@downzy007 Notice he mentions the Hindu god Yamraj.
Chhajju Bania was interviewed in 1981, at which time he was about 40 years old. His near-death experience occurred some 6 years earlier. He became ill with a fever and his condition deteriorated until he was thought to have died, at which time his relatives began preparing his body for cremation. However, he revived, and he gave the following account of his experience as he remembered it afterward:
Four black messengers came and held me.
I asked, "Where are you taking me?"
They took me and seated me near the god. My body had become small. There was an old lady sitting there. She had a pen in her hand, and the clerks had a heap of books in front of them.
I was summoned ...
One of the clerks said, "We don't need Chhajju Bania [the trader]. We had asked for Chhajju Kumhar [the potter]. Push him back and bring the other man. He [meaning Chhajju Bania] has some life remaining."
I asked the clerks to give me some work to do, but not to send me back. Yamraj was there sitting on a high chair with a white beard and wearing yellow clothes. He asked me, "What do you want?"
I told him that I wanted to stay there.
He asked me to extend my hand. I don't remember whether he gave me something or not.
Then I was pushed down [and revived].
www.near-death.com/religion/hinduism.html
@@LM-cz4hi sure, he was given the experience he would most understand, if Yamraj came to me, I'd be like... umm who are you?
It's not common, some ppl see Jesus, other forms of death gods or anything really but most ppl simply talk of seeing a white light, beings, having a life review, maybe so n e relatives or even pets. I actually like hearing the more fantastical ones, they just aren't as common,,, their really is an almost standard nde... not to take away anything from anyone's accounts tho. my initial point was that I think they are real, theirs to much evidence n experiences that it couldn't be simply the brain kicking in a program designed unconsciously for the time of death, which s what a lot of science s pretty much saying.
A couple of years ago, my boyfriend killed himself the day after I broke up with him. You can imagine that this was extremely traumatic for me. At this time, i considered myself as an atheist/agnostic. Still I sometimes talked to him, because I was so devastated and in shock, I just couldn't handle the situation, because I felt so guilty and was so traumatized.
Two month after his dead I walked through a dark park in the middle of the night, going home from a friends place. I cried and sobbed and started to talk to B. and told him that I couldn't handle the emotional pain. I pleaded him to forgive me and asked him something very private.
The next day my sister called. We talked a bit, just smalltalk, and after a couple of minutes she said that she had to tell me something weird. She told me that B. had visited her in the morning and asked her to tell me something. I freaked out, I couldn't believe this. I asked her if she had actually seen him, and she said no, but she had a sudden feeling of B. being right by her side, and then she could hear his voice. He asked her to tell me that he had already forgiven me, that everything was alright. And then he gave her the answer to that specific question I had asked him the night before.
Later, B. "visited" me, too, and he hugged me. I could feel it, and it was very intense.
Of course I have no proof for this, and I don't expect anyone to believe me. But I for myself have the proof now, that life isn't over when we die. I've experienced more strange stuff in the last years, and usually I don't talk about it.
Sorry for my bad English, I hope everything is understandable.
just the placebo effect
Thats the problem with these types of things: I want to believe it’s real but it probs could never be proved (I don’t want to say your lying and I hope this doesn’t offend you )

It's great because there was a serial killer who "died" for a few minutes before being resuscitated and HE went to explain that he saw Heaven.

As a psychology student I've been working for the last few months on the nature of false memories. We've known for decades that people are notoriously bad at remembering events at the best of times, our memories are constructed and re-constructed and are prone to distortions when we are conscious and alert. So I don't value the reliability of people's eye-witness testimony when they are alive. Just imagine how much I don't value the reliability of someone who starts off their story with "Well I was dead and..."
It was this phenomenon that is puzzling my mind for a time now...how come some people predict the day at which they'll die? There have been some documented cases in my country, Romania when a monk or priest would write down the exact date and after some years he will day at the die he predicted! Is this some sort of psychological conditioning? I mean is it possible to make your brain shut down without physical trauma?
Venor Maddox
I think a more likely explanation may be confirmation bias. It's like people claiming that they had a dream the night before they won the lottery, or dreamt about a sporting event happening in a certain way. Given there are 7 billion people doing thousands of things per day, it would be more amazing if someone wasn't right about these from time to time. I'm not sure if you are able to shut your brain down like that per se, but there are interesting correlations between time of death and psychological condition. For example a Swiss study of from 1969 to 2008 which included data from 2,380,997 dead people and found that you are 14% more likely to die on your birthday than the rest of the year. Although I believe this was only significant within people over 60. But there are also conditions like somatoform disorders which are symptoms that suggest physical illness or injury, but they cannot be traced to any underlying medical or neurological condition. Whether that could be so severe that it kills someone, I honestly don't know, but I wouldn't go as far to say it would be impossible
TheGlobalAtheism Regarding the topic of this video "I don't think it's caused by just a lack of oxygen. Inside our brains, we have a pineal gland which houses a molecule known as DMT. This molecule has been known to be released in times of extremely relaxation and stillness (meditation is an example of this). When someone is about to die or think they're about to die, most people will completely surrender in hopelessness and leave it up to fate (now of course this is all happening extremely fast). This surrender creates an immense relaxation which is the exact type of situation that is necessary for the chemical to be released into the brain. DMT is the most powerful hallucinogen in the world, and a concentrated dose being released directly into the brain from within the brain would cause absolutely immense visions along with intense feelings of joy and peace when accompanied by that sort of surrender to fate.. This is what I believe is the chemical function and reason why DMT is present in almost all life. So I believe most NDE are people tripping balls because of DMT (mainly because not all people have NDE most likely because they don't relax and are holding on for dear life lol), but i'm sure lack of oxygen is a big contribution as well."
Venor Maddox
I couldn't have said it better myself. What I find most interesting is that not all of near death experiences actually coincide with brushes with death-one study (Owens, J.E., Cook, E.W., Stevenson) of 58 patients who recounted near-death experiences found 30 were not actually in danger of dying, although most of them thought they were. A 2005 study by Olaf Blanke1 and Shahar Arz found that out-of-body experiences can be artificially triggered by stimulating the right temporoparietal junction in the brain, suggesting that confusion regarding sensory information can radically alter how one experiences one's body. In addition, research now shows that a number of medicinal and recreational drugs can mirror the euphoria often felt in near-death experiences, such as the anesthetic ketamine, which can also trigger out-of-body experiences and hallucinations. Ketamine affects the brain's opioid system, which can naturally become active even without drugs when animals are under attack, suggesting trauma might set off this aspect of near-death experiences. I'll probably do a video about this to compile it all but it really is fascinating that we are able to explain the nature of NDE. But I can't help but feel they would be more impressive if they were after death experiences... Just a thought
So it just ends which is ok
There was a survey surveying people with near death experiences. Most said they felt peace and saw nothing but blackness, some say they were in an unearthly world. But they sure said it wasn't heaven nor hell. Just another planet. Some say they had past memories and saw their past and poof blackness and the feeling of peace strikes.
So if people's claim that they saw heaven when they died, with no evidence, then i must believe that aliens exist and abduct people.
The Worst Channel That's... Actually quite reassuring.
Theres this thing called DMT so yh lol....so when people have near death experiences it's the dmt that makes them see all kinds of things
Y’all are so simple minded like damn, try seeing it from another perspective
I used to be a "christian"...did everything I humanly could to "please" God. But I slowly faded out of it. Now the more I think about it and read into it, I feel like I need to be brainwashed to believe this stuff. And IMO religion teaches people they need to be dependent on something they can't see for strength, which I think dis-empowers the believer. I actually feel more confident in myself now that I don't believe.
agreed

Anthony Tidwell me too 👋🏻
When I was giving birth to my daughter I almost bled to death. I did not actually die. But I was near death. I saw no bright light but I did have a sense of peace that was so wonderful and freeing. It was like I was wearing chains my whole life and wasn't even aware of it till that moment. The father of my daughter was in the room with me, he was a very abusive man. Who I was very angry with at at that time, and wished was not in the room with me. I can honestly say I hated him with every inch of my heart.But at that moment for the first time I understood "The peace that passes understanding" as I looked at him I felt no anger or sorrow... only love and acceptance... the love was different then any other form I felt before.. it was a stronger more pure form of love that came without judgement... it was an amazing experiance. I never felt so peaceful or so free in my whole life. And say what you want about what caused this feeling I had it definately changed my life, and I will never be the same again.My brother did die in an ambulance from a car accident and the paramedics resuscitated him... he say did experiance hell like he swore he went there and hes story is really scary. I was(still am) a Christian when my experiance happened to me. My brother was not a christian when his experiance happened to him.He is now a Christian and that experiance is what made him choose to follow God. Take this and choose your own thoughts on this. As for me and my brother there is no convencing us that what we went through wasn't real or was only in our heads.
Ok
Some people die and see the "man in the moon" playing kickball and eating Cheetos. Why has no religion ever proposed that maybe when we die we will be subjected to an eternity of cheesy fingers? DANGEROUSLY CHEESY!
Lol
If Heaven is so great, wouldn’t these people be so upset that they came back to life? According to them,they already passed the test and made it to Heaven only to be kicked out and put back on Earth so that they can sin some more and lose their place in Heaven,
It must've been awkward at the pearly gates.
God: "What are you doing here so early? *Checks holy watch* you're not scheduled til 20 years from now!"
Them: "I died but not really."
God: "Alright, I'll let you get a little sneak peak I guess."
If they were religious...they would probably say the standard claim... That god moves in mysterious ways LOL
I went into cardiac arrest twice during a routine procedure. Evidently I was allergic to the iodine dye. I did leave my body, but did not see any tunnels, no bright lights, no heaven. Grandma wasn't there to greet me.
No, I watched as the doctors and nurses fought to save the life they had just taken from me. I can tell you exactly what I seen, what I heard, who was where and what was being done to save me. I believe out of body is a mechanism to protect ourselves from pain at that moment.
I credit the doctors, nurses, medical students and everyone who went to school to become these people. Credit yourself for your accomplishments. Don't give them all to your God.

My favorite going to heaven story came from a fantasy book, goes like this: "I died, I was in the dark, then a light. I went into the light and I could see many people waiting to great me. Then I realized that every person that was there to great me, I owed them money."
I mean no disrespect to any non believers in a God but I would just like to say you don’t need pure evidence to prove any of the miraculous or painful things that happen in Life. When you just have trust in God everything good and bad you’ll begin to understand how we as humans can not process the complexity of his amazing vision, so if any one here is questioning Gods actions please consider this.

In the medical field someone is announced dead when he is both physically and mentally unable to think or move
LOL. So people went to Heaven and came back...? Yet no one bothered to ask an "angel" for a souvenir?
Figures.
But the part of you that goes to heaven is your soul, right? That would mean that if your body wakes up while you're in heaven, you'd be a vegetable, your body unable to move because you're not present. So I call bull on this whole topic.
As an Evangelical Christian, I love hearing what you have to say. It would be great to chat with you someday.
When I was a Christian, I had a vision of heaven, and it was much different than the typical version. I saw a city with streets paved with gold, mansions made of ivory, and a temple in the center decorated in gems.
What was the cause for you becoming another religion? I’m not trying to offend you, but it would be great if you told me.
@@brady.shocker I left religion entirely because i realised there was no evidence for Christianity or Islam, and I figured following no religion is better than following the wrong one, should a god or gods end up existing.

@@gylbard8237 I read the Bible which is probably why I had that dream
Also, can god not tell if you are really permanently dead or not? So your soul goes to heaven and then god's like "oh, sorry, my mistake, but I need you to go back to your body for a while". One would expect better from an omnipotent deity.

Anyone that has been decapitated, burned, or any certain way of dying does not come back from the dead to talk about heaven.
The "heaven" that these people talk about is in their brain, nothing else.
Maybe cause there is NO WAY for them to come back
John Mercado yes, like being trapped in a male orgy and not able to stand up
Why is that people who say they died and went to heaven don't stay? If heaven is such a great and wonderful place then why aren't more people rushing trying to get out of this world to get there? Why wait until you're old and decrepit? Go now..PLEASE!!! The world will be a better place
Actually, I think once you realize where you are without being judged first, you get sent back. Kinda like how when you are arrested you wait trial, its the same thing in heaven.
vis atrade That's convenient! Have any proof for that, or is it just more mumbo-jumbo storymaking to make it sound plausible?
because if you kill your self you go to hell. you see we were created by god by him and for him, to acknoledge he exist and to give him all his deserving glory.
***** Him? How do you know it is a him? Does it have the necessary reproductive gear required of a him? Why would it need to be a him? I think you overlooked a strange idea in whatever version of the bronze age fables you happen to subscribe to. When you came into this life, what part of a him did you come out of?
Or did it need to be a him so he could have sex with his mother to conceive himself and be born (get out your calculators and wait for it) both 100% human and capable of being killed and 100% god and not being capable of being killed at the same time. Then to complete his genius plan of tricking his creations into killing him to forgive his imperfect creations for being imperfect, thus forgiving himself for his own failure? Please tell me this isn't even close to what you claim deserves this glory thing, whatever the hell that is....
Daniel Dennett because only if you look for him , you will receive the holy spirit and all the questions become clear all doubt is shattered. and he is coming soon so don't delay .
that college professor died he went to hell he was an atheist he prayed Jesus came and healed his wounds and the angels starting telling him what he did wrong in his life he came back to life and told the story he broke down in tears at the end
The thing is, a person is only dead when brain activity is entirely gone. For the most part hospitals declare a person dead after a certain amount of time after no heart beat. If they can't restart the heart.
However, this actually doesn't mean the person is dead. As long as the brain has activity, you could be dreaming about anything. You could be having hallucinations.
Then when this person comes to later then expected. They where declared dead, when they really never where. Dead is dead, there is no coming back from it.
Then they go to explain their story, and those around them are like "Oh ya. . that DID happen!"
However, people in the situation don't hold a very good memory of what exactly happened 100% of the time. So they become easily influenced by the story and they agree that it happened.
If I am running down frantically down a hall way in the hospital hoping for a loved one, does anyone really expect me to remember something a may have said? For all I know, it could be anything. So if that loved one says, I saw you and you said "blah blah bah" I will think about it knowing I may have or may not have actually said something. I think harder and realize .. oh you know what .. I think I did say that!
Yet it never happened -.-
I believe scientists have confirmed this many times in studies that people do things like this all the time. Even passed memories. You believe something that actually never happened.
I would also want someone to explain why people who are Muslims go to Muslim heaven, people who are Hindu have a particularly Hindu based experience and so on... if Heaven was real, everyone who died and went there would experience the same place, but the only ones that descrbe the same things are members of the same religions... clearly indicates it's the brain and not a real experience.
Isn't it thought that DMT is released in the brain when you die/sleep? I never really looked into that, but yeah. I'd have to do some research.
Yes it is believed that dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is released when the person is near death. It's a psychedelic compound, so it would explain why we some weird shit.
srdustin DMT is not a chief mechanism in NDE's and theres been research to prove that. Please choose another theory.
justsaynotodrugs It's a hypothesis, not a theory. But you're right, though Potts, the man who wrote the book about DMT, said that it likely plays a role in NDE's. Ketamine, epinephrine, steroids and adrenaline are released along with DMT, all together they may account for the dreams.
srdustin touting it as truth utterly ridiculous.
justsaynotodrugs Not truth, a possibility. I never once claimed that anything I stated was indeed a proven fact, nor did I even hint at that. Even in my first post I said "It is believed" not "It is proven". There are plenty of hypothesis about where NDE's come from, lack of oxygen, blood loss, it might be a type of REM sleep, plenty of hypothesis. I just happen to find the chemical argument slightly more compelling.
As a christian i agree, when you go to heaven you stay there!
If person went to a heaven…why come back to earth? Earth is a hell compare to heaven …
Wait a moment, if he went to heaven than how did he come back, and don't say he was revived, because that just says to me that your god isn't very powerful if human intervention can remove someone from the most holy and eternal place to ever be. Try again. and try a little harder next time. I'll be here all year round.
This statement isn't a directed question to you, but to Christianity as a whole.

Okay, then a piece of cloud. My point was that maybe someone should try bring some sort of evidence back and see if it's work.
And shouldn't those people actually be PISSED that they came back???? After all, they made it, they were in Heaven!!! and then, bumer... they got sent back to down here, where they will have to live on and (who knows?) screw it up along life and not even make it to Heaven when death comes for real.
maybe it just wasn't their time
I know right !
If you have Jesus in your life and are a true born again Christian...you CAN'T lose your salvation. So, there is no way you can screw it up.
Daniel Blair Really? So, from that moment on anything goes. A guy can kill and rape all he wants, since he's cool with Jesus he's garanteed in.
" Really? So, from that moment on anything goes. A guy can kill and rape all he wants, since he's cool with Jesus he's garanteed in."
If one is a true born again Christian he really shouldn't have the desire to do such things to begin with. In case you didn't know when you become a true born again Christian there is a change that occurs from the person you once were to the person you become afterwards.
If such a change hasn't occurred then you are likely not a true born again Christian. The very statement of "born again" indicates a change from how you once were into something new.
It's all a state of mind. My "heaven" is more like a house in the middle of nowhere, with every form of nature around me. Not so much the whole clouds and harps thing, then again I'm not Christian any how
you know there are near death experiences from various cultures right? it's not just christians. those experiences do differ many times. also, it's hard to prove whether these people were correct, or hallucinating. prove that you feel love for your family. prove that your blue is my blue.
What is your point. Of course people from different cultures experience different after life hallucinations, because their cultures are different! To make your argument mean something, you should prove that people in the same culture experience totally different after life, otherwise, your point is a rubbish.
And the second part, what the fudge is that, prove love? What is the point? Isn't it a stupid/void argument that every Christians use when they cannot prove their god?
Jeong-hun Sin lol? did you watch the video? 3:30 - 3:47 "and it's always a christian version of heaven too. you never heard a Buddhist say i got reincarnated. . ." regarding your next sentence, he pointed out in a video that people should do a simple google search and research before saying things. i did a simple google search on near death experiences, and found tons of "testimonials." like i said, it's hard to prove whether people are correct or hallucinating. finally, 1) you're avoiding my final argument to prove that what he perceives as blue is what i perceive as blue, and 2) i never said i was a christian. my point with it all was that he cannot prove people were having a hallucination or near death experience, as there are some things in life that aren't easily proved, or we can't prove. gosh, i cant believe i actually had to respond. thought it was pretty obvious.
Lauren Spradlin to prove correct or hallucination is to prove reality which good luck with that. point one addressed as well as point two because they look about the same. to me this video seems to simply suggest that these stories are not as true as they are taken which he seems to think they are taken without question and used as solid irrefutable evidence to support a belief. I hope some people just start to think and civilly discuss their ideas.
William Smith what i dont understand, is why make a video on something you yourself arent sure on, and then go on to speak as if your views are correct. he states at 4:21 - 4:30 "they want to believe that there is something waiting for us on the other side . . . but there isn't . . . " how does he know? he doesn't. also, he consistently claims they are hallucinations. most probably are, but he has no proof anymore than we have proof they went to heaven. it would be one thing to just say "hey, other than actually going to heaven, hallucination might be the cause of said experience." but that's not what he says.
What your saying is totally valid as far as I understand, but if you haven't notice the opposition does that to. he could be doing it ironically, but I'm not in his head. maybe it's not so much his fault as it is human language. maybe he just didn't know the right words. it sound silly since you had another way to say it, but heck still possible that those aren't the right words for what he is trying to say either. also thanks for having an intelligent comment on youtube. these are so rare.

Hi Hemant,
I'm an atheist and i had a near-death-experience 19 yrs ago which made my heart stop for three and a half minutes due to a car-accident. I was re-animated back to life after the third electric shock attempt through a defibrillator. Yeah, there was a tunnel experience and all that but there was no "last judgement" as in the bible or a God for that matter.I just met my cousin who had died a year previously and all he said was that it wasn't my time yet to "pass through" the light. As far as i am concerned my NDE-experience was crystal-clear proof that there exists no God or angels nor Hell for that matter.
Tell me more about it
@@jezzatheboss4508 What's there more to tell about it ? i conveyed my NDE as clear and as short as i can. It was a crystal-clear experience and my cousin and i went through key experiences in my life in three-dimension, as if i was there and up to the point of my accident. And as i wanted to "go to the light", my cousin stopped me and said that it wasn't my time, that i still had "things to do" in my life. That's it.
@@gamalahimsa1848 i understand but do u think i will have the same experience as you have if i die ?
@@jezzatheboss4508 To Jezza, In my effort to make sense of my NDE experience in 1996, i searched through the net of people who had similar experiences like me; and funny enough, most of what happens to everybody after you expire your last heartbeat are eerily similar in process. So, as to your question if you will experience a similar path after you die ? I can say with certainty, Yes Jezza, more or less the same. I grew up with a few different religions and i fit into the category of someone who had not committed crimes and pains onto other people, so probably that determines how i died and the experience i had before i was brought back to life. I cannot speak for how murderers, thieves and liars will experience their after-life experience and where they will end up.
I had a thought: If they are so confident that this happens, why isn't there any funding on projects where "scientists" do research and device methods on how to get a person "dead enough" that they can go to heaven and back?
I’ve had multiple dreams about what Heaven is like and they were extremely weird. None of them were like any existing idea of Heaven that I’ve heard of and they were extremely dissimilar. Because they were just dreams, although they were awesome dreams.
There was a man that came to fix my dryer and he had a bullet hole scar. He told me he was shot and he died and went to hell he saw black figures and he felt anguish and started crying out to Jesus to save him and the black figures were getting closer to him and surrounding him. The doctors were able to bring him back and he changed his whole life after that and converted to Christian
Thank GOD there's no physical proof of HIS kingdom. If humans could access it, they would probably make chaos there too.
This somewhat comforted me since im stressing over death and stuff. Thanks, broski.
How come nobody sees Hell and comes back? Does Satan know when you really die and better understands human biology more than God, who seems to guess whether or not you're actually dead?
There have been a few books about just that i believe...
Cause those are the people who took the brown acid, they dont come back.

What difference does it make if there's a heaven? Worst case scenario: the lights go out and that's it. Nothing happens, ever.
Well, look. You're talking to a guy who doesn't give any credence to mythology. But to play Devil's Advocate suppose this. Suppose whatever the Great Spirit who created heaven is, it has taken boredom into account and has provided for that too. I mean, after all, if it can keep all of us alive indefinitely, it can protect us from boredom too, no?
Stefan Ganescu When you die there is no Heaven or Hell. Only God, who is the toughest judge there is. He will keep you occupied for all eternity.
bachtobebop The older you get, young fellow, the less what you want to do involves "sin". Look, there's no after life. That's obvious. But one can try to imagine for sport.
Carl Favorito You know after you die there is no time. Like times out. Instead only events which are forever. Time is more of a human factor to keep track of things. Most people want to kill time anyway. Those people rather not have God (who represents no excuses). Well I'm just trying to make things logical.
The difference if there's no heaven is huge. It would mean that religions did lie for centuries about it, forcing people to live according with rules created by a few men to get power upon millions of others.
I've had a near death experience. Something bizarre that felt absolutely wonderful with an feeling of peace and happiness beyond anything I know how to describe. But I don't have proof and my personal experience shouldn't compel anyone other than myself to believe there is something special that happens when we die. BTW I am also an atheist. I've had the feeling of lack of oxygen to the brain and loss of conscienceless due to drugs, lack of oxygen. Nothing has can even compare to the experience I had during my NDE. I am not saying it was heaven or anything else. It simply leads me myself and I to believe there is something "more" to this life than we understand.
Hallucination is the keyword here... not more to it.. humans aren't special, just animals.. we're evolved apes....
Ma St
You're information about what it may have possibly been for me is appreciated but not necessary.. I didn't see anything.
I'm having a near death experience right now. It's called 'living'.
What I never got is how people think that a God who is supposed to be all-knowing is stupid enough to take someone to the afterlife when he knows they aren't really dying. If you 'came back', your earthly life was not over, and you did not actually die because your brain had to have at least trace activity the whole time, so you never really went anywhere...
And knowing that you were not actually dying, why would God's actions be controlled by an early tentative diagnosis of death by a doctor or machine or a person's heart stopping temporarily, and why would that be a criteria for taking your soul anywhere anyway, especially if He really knows you are going to live?
forget it, pal, and just stroke a load
Peter Pringle Everybody thinks they are like their favorite fictional character Jesus... That they come back from actually being dead... when we know this doesn't happen, that their brains stay alive, or else they never wake up. You aren't special, if God exists and does not wish to affect people's free will, then he would not be showing people heaven so that they could 'come back' and talk about it (especially since we know that their brains stayed alive and they never really went anywhere in the first place...) The fact is that people hallucinate under certain circumstances, like when the brain is starved of oxygen from the heart stopping. The brain releases a very powerful hallucinogen called DMT.
Now go kneel in front of a priest and stroke a load down your throat.
We aren't God, and we don't know His intentions. Only God knows His intentions. The only reason we have ever thought up of as to why He created the universe is to display His glory. Our minds are like a trillionth of the size of an atom compared to God, therefore we can not begin to comprehend His greatness.
CopperotonGaming Ridiculous.
IamLord YourGod How so?
If God is all knowing why would you go to heaven or hell when he knew you were about to come back to life.

sdasds sadsd The link was for the gentleman, who did not hesitate to imply with his comment, that in fact there are no book discussing a trip to hell and back. There are plenty of books and the specific book I had posted, just happens to be a favorite of mine. Why do people not choose to read books about hell? Why do people choose to not read the Bible? Maybe, ignorance truly in bliss. Maybe, if hell is not acknowledge it will simply cease to exist. Unfortunately, this is false and the Bible does a very good job of giving us all a picture of the place called, Hell. It is a place for pure torment for those who have denied, Jesus Christ. Yes, we are all sinner, but Jesus dies on the cross so that your slate could be wiped clean. He can only save you from your sins if you ask. Just study his word. I'm not going to post a ton of verses on here. You seem bright enough to search them out for yourself. I would also recommend reading the book I had posted. There is plenty of scripture within to help you better understand. I hope you search this out thoroughly. Also, you will find in your studies there is a heaven, and it is a wonderful amazing place.
This comment is for the gentlelady who take's every word out of a persons mouth literally:
If you didn't notice, it's common in our society to use the term "no one" as an over exaggeration for terms that explain that "a small amount of people" do or don't do this or that. Here's an example of a situation that this term would be used in.
-Jimmy: "Hey Bob, wanna go to the library with me?"
-Bob: "No, hahaha, no one goes to the library anymore."
You see, in this situation, Bob know's that people still go to the library, it is just less frequent nowadays due to technology.
Similar to the situation in the example above, I know that there are people that talk about how they went to hell and back, it is just less frequent than people talking about going to heaven.
I hope this helps you understand a bit better.

I like that
People are aware of the fact that some day, their life will end and it frightens them. So what they do is cook up self-consoling concepts such as heaven and hell. The bronze age yokel, who was heavily influenced by church fathers and clerics, bought it and passed it on from one generation to another. Give me the boy till the age of 7 and I'll give you the man. That is the mantra with all religions. Follow the religion of your parents.
remember what it was like before you where born that's death
Your guess is as good as mine, no offense
I thought that too but then think about how you thought about stuff in that darkness I can remember thinking in English but when you're nothing how do you know how to think in a language you never learned
I'm surprised that none of these people that have died for a short time have been to hell. I mean, considering the amount of strict rules and guidelines a religious person has to follow you'd think going to Hell is easier than going to Heaven. The mind chooses what it wants to believe I guess.
I actually recall Fox News put some guy on Hannity's show who claimed to have been to hell. It was funny.
Well chances are nightmares we don't want to remember. But hell sucks. I recall being shot at in the heart and it felt like the first time someone I loved left me. Like a spear through the heart. Also, there were human possession sessions where I knew what was going to unfold and I tried to warn the person I was possessing not to make this mistake but he did anyway and I had to sit through it. Also, I recall trying to get a "Second Chance" on earth and fighting people to the top of a pyramid looking thing. Anyways religion is just like politics it never can be agreed upon because of the cyclical motion of time and the close mindedness of the simpletons.
vis atrade Ah, so you're adopting the old "people don't understand my unfounded nonsense, so I'll act superior - 'you wouldn't understand it' ". THAT'S not been tried before, has it? If you're going to make such claims, give us ANY proof - just an iota, go on.
And "cyclical motion of time"? Please! I swear you're just making this up - if time is cyclical that should be VERY easy to prove, so do show us some evidence of it repeating.
I'm not reinforcing any validity in these people's stories, but if God did exist, the idea of Hell would logically and philosophically contradict the very personality of God himself. It would be against His very nature of being omniscient and loving; for if God is omniscient, he must know that we're going to sin, and therefore cannot *still* condemn us to Hell, as then he would be malevolent, and not loving. This is why nobody has been to Hell, because God did not create Hell to condemn us there, He created it to cast Satan and those angels that rebel against him in.
The reason that nobody has witnessed a different religions' idea of Heaven is because no other religion is correct except the Christian religion. This is why they all see the Christian Heaven. Now, the reason they see angels and all the cliche stuff is because Heaven will appear to you as whatever you picture it to be, so seeing as many Christians see Heaven in that basic way: White clouds, angels, golden doors and roads, it would make sense that since this is what they see Heaven as and Heaven appears in the way you see it as, that they should see it this way.

Your comment starts out open-minded but skeptical (if God did exist), but then you blatantly contradict that (The reason that nobody has witnessed a different religions' idea of Heaven is because no other religion is correct except the Christian religion). Are you a POE?

I'm Buddhist. Experienced a motorcycle accident that knocked me out upon impacting the cement.
What I saw... what seemed at the very instance after impact was seeing a light growing in size rather quickly... relating the experience as the light being golfball size at arms length having enlarged to a baseball at same length. It got no larger because it suddenly stopped growing, remaining suspended. Having a really good look at the light, it didn't cast light North, South, East, or West of its position, but had a very directional quality like a beam.
Next, what seemed a second of time, an energy cloud like nebula in space... but silver, white, pulsating, mixing in and of it began encapsulating me from behind til it closed off my entire view of the light to the point my Conscious eye saw nothing but pulsing energy. Then that energy opens up in my front view where the light was no longer seen, but only dark empty space.
The whole experience seemed 10 seconds duration. But a bystander and the man of the car who pulled in front of me were able to tell me I was unconscious for no more than 5 minutes.
May, 2, 2015 I died in a head on collision. I was pronounced dead for 45 minutes, death certificate signed. Doctor at UT are baffled on how and I'm not a vegetable. I never saw "the light". Heaven and hell don't exist. Bottom line.
Every one else had a near death experience and they seen heaven are hell, something wrong with your story.
They do
These cases of people who were "dead" for a while before ressuscitation are merely semantic.
"Legally dead" is not the same thing as "dead". It means a set of arbitrary physiological parameters that doctors use to stop trying to bring people back, because the rate of success is statistically negligible, and it's not worth the effort anymore.
But, as any statistic significance, a negligible possibility, given enough tries, eventually is gonna happen. And then religious people come back with this white light/heaven/paradise bullshit. I never heard of an atheist who came back with tales of hanging out with angels. Probably because they know weird stuff happen in your brain when you're unconscious.
If in sleep, a daily and necessary state of dormency, dreams can get real crazy, imagine what almost dying does to the brain chemistry.
But make no mistake: no doctor can bring back people who died. If they came back, it just mean they are the exception from the arbitrary rule that determines that, when a person presents those data at the monitors, they're not coming back ever.
There are, you just don't look for it

This constitutes powerful evidence that consciousness may be independent of the brain, and that there may be an afterlife.* ➖➖

***** i dont see how believing in this is a bad thing for anybody. It helps people cope, and find a peace of mind. Even if you dont believe you can still respect the beliefs of other people.
JTelli786 When they try to force everyone else to believe the same thing based on a hallucination their brain produced when it was in its death throws, and are willing to commit violence or enact legislation based on those hallucinations, then there are problems.
thedeebo410 no offence, but iv never witnessed a religious fight over weather or not NDEs are real.
JTelli786 They probably don't argue on the basis of their NDE and whether it is real (though I have had those discussions before), but they will use their NDE to reinforce whatever their religious beliefs already were. If they were Christian, then now they are absolutely sure that Christianity is correct. There is no excuse in their minds to _not_ do what they think their religion requires. If they have relatively tame religious beliefs, then that's fine. If their beliefs dictate that they need to pound on my door at 9am on Saturday morning or try to establish a theocracy, then I have problems with it.
I also have a problem in general with just accepting something as true because it makes you feel good. I think it is more productive for the individual and the society as a whole to only accept things that are actually true.
God bless everyone.
You did not read the book Proof of Heaven. You should, before making a video about it.
I have been clinically dead 3 times and each time all I can recall of it is darkness and varying temperatures. I was cold at first, then warm, then I woke up. Makes perfect sense to me for totally natural biological reasons. I couldn't see, hear or smell anything due to lack of sensory input because my body had shut down almost completely. When there are no working nerves that means there is no information for the brain to interpret. Since I obviously wasn't brain dead yet, otherwise I would not be here, my brain was still processing what little information it could and was interpreting my body shutting down to a feeling of cold. Then when they revived me and my heart started beating again, pumping my blood through my body and warming it, that was the first thing my brain registered before I awoke. Simple biology. I will admit that the first time it happened I interpreted it differently, based solely on my feelings. At the time, it felt as if I was freezing to death then someone threw a warm blanket around me and pulled me back. I could have attributed it to some supernatural cause because that is how it felt, but after thinking on it and it happening again two more times, I realized that it was just my brain interpreting information. All of what I experienced is easily explained by basic human biology and is not some miraculous occurrence. Just thought I would share that in counter to all those near death stories you usually hear. Also I was still a Christian when it happened the first time, but I had already rejected the concept of heaven and hell. Keep up the awesome work!
I heard that you trip out on DMT when you die. That could be why people think they went.
There are real, scientific explanations for all NDE story lines:
*Bright light*: oxygen starved optical neurons fire all at once, creating the impression of a dot of white light.
*Tranquility*: body ODs on endorphines
*Hallucinations*: on shutting down, the pineal gland releases produced psychedelic tryptamines, including DMT.
*Out-of-body experience*: Induced by brain trauma, sensory deprivation, dehydration, and even simple electrical stimulation of the brain. (People even experience OoBEs while falling asleep, or sleeping.)
But, of course, it feels much better to pretend having really gone to a happy place like told exists according by religion...
I'm praying for you.
We really should
