While I was still an atheist, I saw a movie about near death experiences. There were eyewitness accounts of people dying on operating tables, after accidents and during heart attacks. I was most comforted at that time, by a guy who was an atheist, who had a near death experience and also travelled down a tunnel, towards a light, and saw his grandmother there, but was told he had to go back.
That movie kept me happily living my life, thinking we all must end up in a better place after death, regardless of how we live our lives. Until my powerful conversion happened.
The common thread in all of those stories was that the person concerned, came back to tell the story. Seeing that Satan can appear as an angel of light and also is a deceiver. My advice is that people listen to Jesus, the one who transcends life and death and believe him. His last words at his crucifixion were. *[[Luke 23:46]] KJV* And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend (commit my spirit): and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. That is the ultimate act of trust at the point of death. It worked for him, that is my hope also. Just a few comments to add to this discussion.
