I understand your position, Daylia but here's the problem. It's the religious camel's nose under the tent, Afterlife and what people do to accomodate it. I think you will see more opposition by non-believers in the coming years because of the insistence of the religious radical right on this issue.

Some of the non-belief language may seem harsh but for years society has restricted any decent discussion of the role of religion by saying "hands off". It is not allowed to be questioned and this goes for the Afterlife postulate.

Until we have a decent scientific verification of the "near death experience", we only have hearsay to confirm it. Now the fundamentalist preacher will pound the pulpit and storm exhorting the congregants to fear as he claims to know what lies beyond "this mortal coil".
Here, we have a big problem.

There are "scientists" of every religious stripe who claim to have proof about evolution, ("the earth is only 10,000 years old", the bible, and the Afterlife. There are a lot of charlatans out there.

That said, there is no argument to dispute what you have experienced because it starts and stops with you and there is no way to scientifically verify it.
