and I disagree with both of them. As an atheist, my belief is when you die you don't go to Heaven or to Hell because neither exists. Whatever life-force or energy you had that made you you ceases to exist. Think of it this way, imagine your life is a flashlight. When you turn it on the light that shines is your life. When you turn it off your life ends and there's not way to restore your life. That light is gone forever. Now, before someone points out that by turning the flashlight back on restores your life is a fallacious argument because it would be a new life and not a continuation of a life in another form (Heaven or Hell) or reincarnation.
In watching the video, the Christian and the Atheist are both same much the same thing. One believes in Heaven and Hell and the other one believes the soul chooses what form it wants to take. Both women cited anecdotal stories about people who went to Hell and returned or saw their dead grandfather and friend as ghosts. To me, that's the brain attempting to make sense of something that is happening to them. We don't understand how or why the brain does this but it does help to explain most near death experience, ghosts, and other paranormal experiences.
