Christians:Can Near Death Experiences (NDEs) be considered evidence of the Christian idea of afterlife when NDEs [Spirituality & Religion]
[b]experienced by people of other faiths result in them experiencing visions appropriate to the culture and religion they were raised in?[/b]
That is to say, either NDEs cannot be used to validate the truth of Christianity [i]or[/i] NDEs can be used to validate the truth of every religion equally.

There was a guy in the news a few days ago that had an NDE and said God was wearing timberlands. So yeah. Believers always say experience trumps facts, but what happens when every experience is subjective and different? There was one woman I heard of that had an NDE and said that she was told by God that you wont be shocked out of or into a different system of belief. So Buddhists reach nirvana, Wiccans reach Summerland, Abrahamics reach Heaven. The whole idea of an infinite God making a one size fits all system has always bothered me. The Bible says it is one size fits all but experience (which believers put great faith in) says something completely different.
@Pikachu If God exists he is way more impressive than the small God of believers. Believers most of the time make God look so small and petty and limited.
