What is more likely - That a little boy went to heaven and saw Jesus and Satan, or that a little boy lied?
What is more likely - That a virgin gave birth, or a Jewish girl lied?
etc etc etc.
By definition a miracle is the least likely explanation for absolutely everything.
Thanks LisaRose, I didn't realize that two young boys talk to Angeles...
Yes I see, Colton was 4 year old when he spoke with the Angeles.
About what boy or book you write?
There is "Heaven is for real" with the boy Colton Burpo. He was 4 when he had his near death experience.
Then there is another boy, Alex Malarkey, whose father wrote a book about his heavenly experiences. This book could very well be a hoax as it is so full of christian propaganda.
In your thread, please be specific about what you state.
Sorry for the mix up..Tyndale House a major Christian publisher, has
announced that it will stop selling "the Boy who came back from
Heaven. By Alex Malarkey and his father K. Malarkey.
I remember when I first heard it mentioned with the name and I figured it was a parody or a joke for awhile (I hate those kind of stories-heaven, hell, ghosts, angels, limbo stories, whatever-its all malarky!) When I realized they were seriously trying to say it, I just figured its another person taking advantage of gullible people.
I believe in God, and I believe in heaven. I don't believe those people's stories for half a minute. Sometimes they are heartwrenching and you WANT to, but the exact part of my gut and my brain that DOES believe in a creator rejects those stories reflexively because I see them as cries for attention (which this was, coincidentally). Surviving a horrible accident or tragedy is amazing enough to get my attention and empathy. Tall tales, not so much.

And you believe that every single person on this forum is going to hell don't you?
I started a thread about the movie Heaven is for Real movie, had no takers though.😥
The movie seemed far fetched and convoluted.
I remember as a kid the sunday school teacher telling me the streets of heaven were paved with gold, and even my tiny tiddly-peep brain thought " WTF!"
Cofty, I don't think the Jewish girl lied about how she got pregnant. Some writer made that up years later just like Alex Malarkey's story was made up.
I could possibly do very well writing one of these books myself if I ever came out of a coma. "From A Cult to Atheist to a Conversation with Peter at the Pearly Gates and Back to Earth to Write about it." That's a bit long. Maybe "Believer-Nonbeliever-Second Chance" I will get my inspiration from making it up.
