"This is my story" Deceased boy's video about near death experiences
 

The video was made 18th December 2011, he died Christmas Day night

R.I.P. Ben :sad:

That is so terribly sad :( I am glad he had his belief, it must have helped so very much to sustain him at times. So sad he was taken at such a young age though :(

Heartbreaking...an incredible acceptance..an amazing boy

I'm not going to watch it, seems sad:(

Actually it is quite uplifting as he clearly meant it to be.

Yep, it made me feel a lot better knowing there could be something after we die

Jeez thats horrible poor guy :(
RIP

dont be ridiculous

there is nothing

That's incredibly sad. What age was he ?

So sad:(.

Prove it.

He may have needed better Care.

Really brave young guy, a totally sad but really inspirational message.

That was interesting to watch.

I watched the first few seconds, I don't think I'm in the mood to look at it now, he did have nice handwriting though.

I read about it but haven't watched a video yet. There was an interesting comment in dailymail that people that experience near death always seem to see heaven with the warm light and everything but nobody ever experiences hell. That is true. I want to hear someone that stood in front of the gates of hell gosh darnit. I want them to tell us that they saw elvis, james dean and Heath ledger shoveling bloody coal into a fire while walking barefoot on burning ground.

I believe near death experience is caused by a massive release of dimethyltryptamine from your brains pineal gland.

I'm amazed people always jump to the spiritual conclusion. Your brain is more than capable of coming up with some weird out stuff all on it's own.

Think this is the account he posted them on, in two parts, different music

Even if we are simply "a ghost in the machine", a mistake of a few cells joining together to form a concious being, I think that we might have an eternal dream, and to us, that dream is the afterlife. I don't believe there is a almighty being, though their could be some sort of energy that we rejoin when we die. It's not impossible that some sort of life force is real, we barely know anything about the universe.

It doesn't matter if God or heaven is real or not, it's still nice to know that death isn't scary eigther way. It's really sad that he's gone now, but at least we know he really is resting in peace, and it was actually a nice experience for him.

I don't really fear death, but i do fear dying. I'm scared of how overwhelming the actual FEAR will be in that moment that you know yu are dying, so the fact that when he did die a few times, he wasn't very scared and he felt comforted by something (whether angels or a release of brain chemicals it doesn't matter) is very reassuring.

Not really scared of death, just hate what my family would be like

Eternal nothingness is okay if your dressed for it.

I dont need to it is up to whoever believes such illogical superstition to prove that they have a basis for their claptrap.

This is why science and logic works and superstition and religion does not....:spin:

You do need to prove it, but you simply can't, so you refuse, fair enough.

I don't know what to believe, the universe is a magnificent place, science is only scratching the surface. It's not beyond logic and reason to assume there are forces we don't know about, but I do agree that the whole "God" thing is rather silly.

Science and religion aren't antithetical, most of the great Scientists in history were also Christians; Galileo, Newton, Darwin etc.

I don't believe in a Christian God, but there is yet to be a Scientific truth that contradicts the possibility of something existing beyond our understanding. I wouldn't attribute the kid's visions to something supernatural though, I think it's more likely the brain was playing tricks on him. Sad video all the same

Check out his house tour its lush!

Your first point is not strictly correct and is simply a reflection on the make-up of society at that time than saying that great minds were also Christian - as they were not and continue not to be.

taking a anti-christian stance at that time would have meant the end of their research and livelihood - they were not daft, just scientists.

I do not, neither do I have to disprove unicorns, leprechauns, mediums, trolls, dragons and other made up stuff

:laugh: You obviously have no evidence if your looking at Wikipedia.
I don't get why all atheists feel the need to be pricks, they should respect other peoples beliefs. While I don't necessarily believe in all of the christian religion, I dont verbally attack people who do

You simply cannot prove that something does not exist. Thats ridiculous D:

No, you're right, humans should never think outside the box, they should think strictly in the box, because thats how all the great theories of the universe originated, isn't it? Can you not even acknowledge that there might be more to living beings than we know?

Afterall, you only have to look at the universe to see how truely magnificent, mysterious and "magical" it is. I say magical, but of course, it's science, but can't science be magical? After all, science has given us technology that our ancestors would have mistaken for witchcraft.

Well Galileo was convicted of heresy and Newtons religious views were far from orthodox so it's not like they were just pretending to be stooges of the Church, both were still Christians though

A true christian would have no need to look for any answers beyond god. there were about as christian as arista

All Atheists don't. And it's Religious people I usually see shouting in the street damning people to hell. Why don't they respect that an Atheist doesn't believe? Don't go pretending that Theists are some sort of victim.

Well you get a gold star for being so good but i am taking it off you again for the "old persecution chestnut"...

sorry, what point are you making though?:conf:

All religeous people don't shout in the street, athiests are getting as bad by constantly berating quiet religeous people for their beliefs

That it's not impossible there is some form of afterlife

Examining the way the world works, the way things are and the way they happen isn't looking for answers beyond God, it's looking for answers within God, and within the framework of his creation

Unfortunately it did not pan out that way and was the very reason why no one believes in god now in developed countries and why religion has been pushed back to backward nations and continents.

All atheists don't feel the need to be pricks. Wikipedia, contray to popular belief, contains plenty of facts and good summarys of theories - making it a useful place to link to.

Also there is absoloutely no burden on an atheist to respect someones beliefs. I hate that notion. I don't respect Islam, for instance. I respect peoples choice to believe as long as they go about it in a way that does not interfere with the lives of others ... but why should I have to respect the religion? What if I find the religion disrespectful?

I hate this idea that we have to respect someones religious beliefs. The best I can do is respect their freedom of choice as long as it doesn't intervene with others freedom of choice.
