The idea of heaven and hell has been used to control mankind for a very long time and some people have benefited heavily from it. Some of them are superstars and others own mansions, businesses and even private jets all on the idea that someday you will either spend eternity in heaven or hell.

One person who wanted to cash in on this ideology is Alex Malarkey whose story was made into the best-selling book-The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven. His story recounts his encounter with Jesus and going to heaven after a car crush while he was in a 2 months coma.

His accounts of heaven should have been questioned because it is very similar to the typical heaven description you get in storybooks with the tall gates and everything being bright. You might say well that is the truth until you hear that Alex was 6 at the time.

Now who in their right mind will let a 6 years old kid tell them this nonsense and not only that allow it to be made into a book and sell it to people to make money? I know the answer but I leave that to you. The reason Alex gives for these lies about his visit to heaven is “I wanted attention”? Really?

Well now that one of the books is taken off the “real-life” tales of heaven, we wait to see if the other 2 will be investigated. Now decide on the many so called men of God who claim to have had encounters with Jesus, God or the Holy Spirit.

Simple questions and reasoning will solve a lot of these issues but hey that is too scientific and here in religious school, it’s all about faith aka believing blindly or believing without questioning or evidence.
