== The atheist Ace McWicked claimed that he died - despite the fact that death is a rather permanent condition ==

[[File:Gravestone.jpg|thumbnail|400px|center|On August 28, 2022, the New Zealand atheist who goes by the moniker Ace McWicked claimed that he died - despite the fact that [[death]] is a rather permanent condition.<ref>[https://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=RationalWiki:Saloon_bar&oldid=2482742#Death Ace McWicked claiming he died]</ref> Ace, just because a paramedic told you that you died, doesn't mean that you actually died. Ace, as much as I hate to say it, this is yet another case of [[Atheism and gullibility|atheist gullibility]]! I mean the man wasn't even a doctor!
<br />
<br />
Ace became very angry when he was asked for a copy of a death certificate or a copy of a life insurance payout to his ex-wife to prove that he had died!<ref>[https://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ace_McWicked&diff=2481539&oldid=2398824 Ace McWicked getting angry when asked for a copy of a death certificate or a copy of a life insurance payout to his ex-wife to prove that he had died.]</ref>
<br />
<br />
Ace, just because you didn't have a near-death experience when you came close to dying, does not mean you actually died or that God, Heaven or Hell do not exist. That is the most pathetic argument against the existence of God that I have heard by an atheist and I have heard a lot of pathetic arguments against the existence of God by atheists. It's even worse than [[Santa syndrome]]! Ho! Ho! Ho!
<br />
<br />
Ace they are called <big>'''near-death experiences'''</big> so by definition alone they are not death. That is so elemental that I seriously question your "superior atheist intelligence"! See: [[Atheism and intelligence]]

The journal article ''Definitions of [[death]]: brain death and what matters in a person'' published in the ''Journal of Law and Biosciences'' states:
{{Cquote|The Commission ultimately recommended a Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA) which aimed to make the total brain standard into law in the states. This recommendation has been adopted by the American Bar Association and American Medical Association, and made into law in some form in all 50 states. The UDDA simply states: ’An individual who has sustained either (1) irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions, or (2) irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem, is dead. A determination of death must be made in accordance with accepted medical standards’. This standard, through (1), incorporates the traditional cardiopulmonary test into the modern definition of death. It is (2) which serves as the ‘sufficient’ definition of death which can address more complex cases. Incorporating the cardiopulmonary test thus allows the traditional medical standards to continue to operate, so that doctors need not do an EEG before issuing a death certificate in every individual case.<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5570697/#:~:text=The%20UDDA%20simply%20states%3A%20'An,the%20brain%20stem%2C%20is%20dead.
