NDEs
I read an article in a quarterly periodical I take about Near Death Experiences (NDEs). As an atheist, I treat any such claims with a hefty dose of scepticism. I have no doubt that most of those claiming these experiences are sincere, but I would generally attribute their experiences to brain activity rather than any encounters with the supernatural or an after-life. Generally, these experiences accord with what the subject either already believes or expects, or has already experienced in their lives. I would dismiss 99% as such. However, 99% is not 100% and, having read the testimonies of a number of people, there is a minuscule gap about which I am prepared to keep an open mind.

Re: NDEs
While I personally have never experienced an NDE. I know someone who claims he did. I have known this person for over 40 years and have never know him to make things up. So I have to keep an open mind on the subject and do read about some of them from time to time. I find them very interesting.
