Out of body experiences.

I do think some of them honestly believe they died and went to heaven/hell, so they feel strongly motivated to share what they have "learned."

Can things like that be debunked? Yes and no. You can examine certain features of the experiences that would indicate they are more similar to hallucinatory sleep experiences, for example, than actual out-of-body events. There are interesting cross-cultural studies of NDEs that seem to indicate that what people see in an NDE is largely culturally dictated. You might find this article interesting: http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/keith_augustine/HNDEs.html

A fascinating article, ExMinister. The part about the children's experiences was most interesting and that was the first time I've read about the cross-cultural studies on the subject.
Thanks for posting that up!
 
Yeahh, well I also find it weird that God would let his "Perfect Creations" suffer something such as Hell. If he is God why wouldn't he just use his power to make us "good" rather than giving us a scenario made up by him.

Funny that the afterlife looks so much like this one. I mean a Muslim sees his heaven and a Christian sees theirs.

Also I don't know of any account where someone went to hell.

There are quite a few. Type "near death experiences hell" into You Tube and there is a lot to choose from. In fact Howard Storm, the atheist I mentioned previously, claims to have had an NDE that landed him first in hell. I think there's a certain way we're supposed to link to videos and I don't know how it's done, otherwise I'd link it for you.
