For every one of these stories, there's a 1,000 stories of people who were temporarily dead and said there was nothing.

No one has ever been brought back from being dead. They're all a bunch of baloney.
Really?
Look, others may not have recalled what happened to them after they died, but they most certainly didn't experience the absurdity of nothing and come back to tell us there was nothing. Right?
That's simply not true, it's happened a lot. People have been declared officially dead by every medical definition, just to come back.

Well, I could be wrong. But what I consider dead is brain dead. No one's ever been brought back from that. I talked about a young man I knew who benefited greatly from affirmative action in another thread. He told me he was declared dead and woke up in the morgue when he was in the military. He also experienced 'an afterlife.' Very moved by it, he was. But he obviously wasn't dead. As in dead dead. *shrug*
For the sake of arguments, lets assume that Mr. McCormak's story is actually true. It would demonstrate the incredible unfairness of gods judgement. Why does McCormak get to come back and repent for the error of his ways when most everyone else doesn't get a second chance? Why does God show him actual evidence of hell while the rest of atheists are denied it?

"God works in mysterious ways." :lamo
Ian was declared brain dead. He "awoke" in the morgue.
When you say "he obviously wasn't dead", you mean "obviously one can not be restored to life after death by God." In short, you beg the question. You don't know. You just don't believe.
You don't know either, you just believe.
I followed the Dead and I remember a lot of tie-dye and marijuana smoke.
When I awoke, they swore me to secrecy.
Raising someone from the dead would be an easy thing for God. Do I believe Ian's story? Sure. It's credible. He's credible. Could that belief be wrong. Sure.
Ain't ever seen nothing but zombies raised from the dead. So it's not believable. Obviously if he were "brought back to life", then he weren't never "dead" in the final and infinite meaning of the term.

maybe because their atheism trumps their experience of hell, so he figures there's no point in giving them a second chance.
or maybe because he knew this guy was into self promotion so the deal was he'd get a second chance in exchange for marketing the story.
Is it me, or if someone badmouthed Christianity the way atheism is being badmouthed here, it wouldn't be allowed in "religious discussions."
