"Ayer's article, with his vivid memory of being pulled toward a red light, 'exceedingly bright, and also very painful,'"

Hmmmmm.... doesn't sound like Heaven.

I remember when The National Review printed the original article by Ayers in 1988. Ayer had enough intellectual honesty that he wrote he was perplexed and could not fully understand what happened to him. Only later when the pressure began to build did he refute his doubt, claiming his NDE was some sort of psychological illusion.

Ayer wrote that during his NDE his fate was discussed by three male spirits against a flickering red background and wondered what it all meant. A letter in the next issue of the magazine gave what may have been an answer to Ayer's dilemma.
Those flickering red lights-why the fires of Hell,of course.
