i am sure one of you have heard one of those fascinating stories that hundreds of people have told about when they were clinically dead then later revived. they all say the story of how they see a light and are moving towards it, then they see..... ect (go look it up yourself) doesn't that have some form of proof of afterlife, and thus god. are all these people lying?

No, they're not lying.
However, isn't it interesting that Hindus see Brahman (or Shiva or Vishnu or their personal deities), while Westerners see variations on Christian Heaven, and Asatru see the Halls of Valhalla? Why is it that these experiences are not entirely uniform if there's only one afterlife? Why is it that people experience exactly what they would expect to experience?
I'm an atheist and I've had a near-death experience. I met Fenris Wolf from Norse mythology. Should I thus believe in Fenris, or recognize that the near-death experience is well explained by neurology and does not actually indicate anything supernatural?

No they are not lying. Why would they be motivated to do so after going through a very traumatic physical experience.
When you die there is a light brighter then the sun and by following the light you end up where you are destined to go.
The light is the path back to God. There are many books written on the subject. The science of spirituality. By meeting the right teacher, you can learn to see the light and to meditate upon it. By meditating upon the light in your third eye your can leave the body and transverse through more ethereal planes.
Only with a proper teacher or guru is this possible and safe.
You need to be initiated into the light and sound. This is the path of Sant Mat.

I don't think they are lying but you get all these science buffs and people who do not believe who will go into the whole thing of biology and how your brain is shutting down and that it fires of electrons which i don't entirely argue with but they do it to a point of saying you're lying and there is no God.
They try to take away that comfort it brings and that's sad.
My mum was in a major and i mean major car wreck, flipped 6 times and landed upside down 4 inches from an oak tree. She said she was pulled out of the car (yet had been mangled with legs trapped) and when she found herself laying on the grass in the middle of an empty field, she said no one was around, she also felt someone tugging and stroking her hair distinctivly and it went away when paramedics arrived but what pisses me of is, she's still an atheist! She'll say it was angels or a family member but refuses to admit the Lords intervention, and rather than it making her a bette rperson, it made her a sour, mean person....i wish she could have learned from her near death experience like i did!

No, they aren't lying about what they saw, heard, etc., but the anecdotal stories do not constitute proof of an afterlife. There have been studies that indicate that this happens as the brain becomes more and more oxygen-deprived.

If a faith died, that would propose no person practiced it anymore, however the diety those people worshipped ought to nevertheless be alive if the deity grow to be genuine. Do you talk with any specific faith once you ask this question?

well since these people likely don't know each other and haven't conspired together to lie to the rest of us, i'd say they are telling the truth wouldn't you? what reason would they have to all lie about such a thing? it's just one more grain of proof that God is real no matter how hard some people try to deny Him.

People have dreams, but the dream-world isn't real. The most probable explanation is that the 'vision' is invented by the brain after resuscitation but before consciousness is regained.

You can speculate all you want but no one really knows what happens unless they experience it. I don't really know but the dying brain theory sounds stupid to me. I'm just saying....

I do not know, but reading or listening to such things makes my heart leap, and my ears stretch, and my eyes get bigger.
