Depends on atheist religion.
Draconian religion atheist believes himself to be a living God.
tho most who practice Draconian religion arent atheists.
The gamers that created the Universe use religion to kill humans to score points.
Bro, no, not correct, as written. You would not have an argument if the human robots actually did wait until death to hallucinate and dictate near-death experience fantasies. Kind of difficult to dictate anything when dead. Grammar, anyone?
We tell God what to do and then blame Him for our errors.

Well a robot is something that is not flesh, as defined by flesh.
And as Faux rightly points out, one cannot regale with afterlife stories if one is dead.
And I would be what is typically regarded as Atheist, and the "position" you suggest is not a "position" I adopt.
I don't 'think so,
I 'think there's a 'lot of different types of Atheists.
I couldn't really guess at how many Atheists, what types, or where they are more or less located across the globe.
Personally though,
"Humans are nothing other than elaborate flesh robots that sometimes Hallucinate elaborate afterlife stories when they die"
Is what 'I suspect in 'my Atheism,
Not saying I'm 'certain of it. . . But (Shrug) it is part of what I live my life by.
Hey man, good to see you are back!
We were worried about you, there was even a thread about it, Debby denied having you chained up in her basement, so I was afraid PolytheistWitch turned you into a newt.
I'm glad you got better.
Welcome back.
Humans are elaborate flesh robots that sometimes Hallucinate elaborate afterlife stories around the time of death?
Is that better? Its technically describing your beliefs right. Even if it sounds ridiculous when its said out loud
Plus me saying they experience 'when they die' is ambiguous enough to indicate either at or right atound death not necessarily during death
Okay...But nonetheless in simple terms humans are complex biological organisms that invented the concept of the robot...Such is the capability of the human mind to acquire store and manipulate data...So yes, it's reasonable to assume that in times of extreme stress the human mind is capable of "hallucinating" afterlife concepts...Do we not dream when we are asleep?
i acknowledge your claim is possible. but my main point is to make skeptics step back and look at their world view in a general and critical sense. if there's no free will or spirit then we are merely robots, if NDEs aren't real then these elaborate flesh robots are hallucinating elaborate afterlife stories around death. it's self evidently absurd. if there wasn't science to support that philophical point it's one thing, but even the science discredits taking that ridiculous idea serious when it says we are merely flesh robots hallucinating afterlife stories.
science, like the book 'evidence of the afterlife' by dr long, where he talks about OBE being verified anecdotally over and over again under scientific conditions, or the blind seeing for the first time while dead, etc etc. and philosphy, that it's common for people to experince coherent and elaborate afterlife stories that are more real than their earthly life, where they no longer fear death, and they are sure about what they saw, where common themes are present, "being told it's not your time to die, or to go back", going through tunnels, meeting beings of light or jesus, seeing the afterlife, etc.
Thanks bother but I have have been very busy.
