New Sam Parnia book!

The historical record is at least a bit complicated here. I vaguely recall an argument that medieval European [NDEs] helped develop the idea of Purgatory, but I'd need to double check that.

Other cultures also have their beliefs changed due to NDEs.

Well of course, that is the other way round - it weakens the argument that NDE reports were moulded religious ideas.

I went to church until age 20, and I don't think NDE's were ever mentioned.

Some people keep their NDE experiences quiet because they don't fit properly into any accepted viewpoint.

They aimed to gather statistics on the distribution of NDEs in Germany, similar to how Gallup conducts polls for predicting U.S. presidential elections. That's why they used ZUMA, known for its expertise in survey methodologies. ZUMA utilizes random sampling to reach a statistically representative sample of the entire German population, ensuring that everyone has an equal chance of being selected, and no one is excluded.

Hmm I guess NDE's are rather personal memories, and getting rung up for their view I guess many people would just say "NO".

One problem I find, is that skeptics just assume that there is no worthwhile information to be had out there - they think they are breaking new ground!
