When you die, look for me at the end of the long tunnel with the bright light.
I'll be the guy who 'pants' you, and runs away laughing, while your pants are around your ankles and you have to meet God and all your relatives in your undies.
NDE is a red-flag, because people of other faiths who undergo this, report “events” and “sightings” in congruence with the intricacies of those particular faiths.
You are wrong. There was a very good case on the history channel not to long ago.
Anti-NDE’s ignore the truth.
I beg to differ, James C. Bennett. NDEs are not falsified on this basis. For what they all seem to exemplify is an experience that is deeper than any particular human doctrine or particular cultural tradition can explain. [E.g., why the ubiquitous "tunnel?" Why the "light at the end of the tunnel?" Why the sightings of departed dear ones? Why meeting/seeing angels?] The reports seem to indicate a fairly restricted range of phenomena. The fact that such more-or-less uniform reports come from across cultures may constitute evidence of their universality.
Then again, you can't falsify NDEs by simply claiming that they have no real effect on the persons experiencing them. Often, NDEs have proved to be life-changing events for the persons undergoing them. If there is an effect of this nature, in nature, can its cause be fictitious?
How’s the retread account working out for you?

The enemy of our souls is a mimic.
