Why don't Muslims, or atheists, see Muhammad in their near death experiences?
Do a search for Muslim near death experiences. What you'll find is that many will see Jesus, but never Muhammad, nor any other figures from other religions, such as Buddha, Krishna, etc. After this experience they'll often covert to Christianity.

This happens often with atheists as well. There's been many cases of atheists seeing Jesus, but never Muhammad, and again nor Buddha, Krishna, etc. Likewise, many of these atheists will then covert to Christianity.

Re: Why don't Muslims, or atheists, see Muhammad in their near death experiences?
Because the cultural identity of the majority of atheists is indeed western. And the main religion, whether you ascribe to it or not, is Christianity.

And still Hindus do NOT get Christian NDE's.

As for Christians getting Bible inspired NDE's instead of something that there mind comes up with;

[link to christ.org.tw]

I'm pretty sure that when asked the people experiencing the NDE's would not see some ugly mofo as Jesus simply because that is not inline with the cultural identity of western civilization.

Overall I just don't see how NDE's can be used to provide evidence for anything.

Simple...because Mohammed was a false prophet.

I checked that link regarding the Hindu NDE, and that's a small study, covering only 16 near death experiences, which can be hard to draw a conclusion. When compared to NDE researchers such as Dr. Jeffery Long, who looked at 2000 NDE cases, and the International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS), that also looked 1000s of cases. This non-Christian organization IANDS, recently released their latest book and findings 'Dancing Past the Dark: Distressing NDE'. Of the many cases, they share two cases. One by an atheist and a Jew. And again, they both saw Jesus.

There are many cases now, of people coming across information in their NDE, that was previously unknown to them. But after the NDE, this information was verified down to the exact details. This shows, the person couldn't have merely imagined the experience based off of former beliefs / knowledge.

Please show me which research papers they released that clearly indicate that the Christian NDE's are the "true" ones?

If you cannot link me with any of their research then why exactly are you using them to validate the notion that the Bible is real even though they in no way what so ever make that claim?

From the NDEs, for both Muslims and non-Muslims, encountering Jesus. What I'm finding is that many will not choose a denomination that doesn't believe in eternal hell.

This is a good theory, however, if you look at the cases of Muslims encountering Jesus. Jesus, let's them know, that Islam is false. I'm still trying to find more, but this has occurred for all cases with Muslims, that I reviewed.

Thanks for the link. Certainly not everyone will encounter Jesus.

Another important factor that many NDE researchers will overlook, is this.

Not all near death experiences, are clinical death experiences.

If a person has a 'near death experience' but isn't actually clinically dead, the experiences tend to be more varied, compared to those who were actually declared clinically dead, this must include no heartbeat, or respiration.

What this suggests, is that near death experiences, in which the person isn't technically clinically dead, will have an experience that's based more if not totally on his subconscious beliefs and expectations.

Why are so many Christians ignorant idiots? Does their religion promote stupidity?

Of course Moslems don't see Mohammed, he was their last prophet. Their hope is in Isa Mesi (Jesus the Messiah in English). Moslems are waiting for the real Jesus to return.

Most Christians are waiting for the fake Jesus of Mormonism or the UFO/rapture Jesus.

If NDE's are real then you would expect a really low rate like 1%. If not the percentage would be really high.

Yes, from what I'm finding you're right.

There's been many cases of people committing suicide, seeing hell. And then drastically changing for the better.

There was an unusual case. A child drowned and had NDE, and saw heaven. Later when he was older, he wanted to kill himself, to return to this heavenly place. After the suicide, he had an NDE, had a hellish experience, and then changed this life for the better.
