Boy Who Visited Heaven Is Mocked By MSNBC Host

This morning, on NBC’s top-rated show, “Today,” Matt Lauer spent considerable time with Colton Burpo, the young boy from Nebraska who claims that he visited heaven during an operation that saved his life.

Colton’s story became a New York Times, non-fiction, best-seller called “Heaven Is For Real.” But the Today Show was not the young man’s first big media interview, he’s been on other national tv shows including a Fox News Network appearance last Fall with Gretchen Carlson.

After this moving interview, the Colton Burpo story took a strange turn.

While doing some background interview for this story, I also stumbled into a clip of MSNBC‘s ’rising star’ Cenk Uygur.  Prior to sliding into the 6pm slot on MSNBC, Uygur hosted an internet-based political opinion show called The Young Turks.

Mr. Uygur is heard rudely laughing at the interview, and laughs loudest when the young boy is asked about seeing Jesus.  Is this what MSNBC considers to be the right talent for their 6pm time slot?  The young boy talks about seeing Jesus and mentions that Jesus large enough to hold everyone in his hands.  Cenk Uygur seems to take great pleasure in mocking Colton Burpo’s experience. He also seems to be confused, claiming that the child said Jesus was an obese, blue-eyed man with a great smile.

Uygur mocked the the young boy, the family, Jesus, and Fox News for doing the story.  I wonder how he feels about NBC and Matt Lauer dedicating almost seven minutes of prime morning airtime to what obviously is a captivating piece of news?  After all, the New York Times put the boy’s book atop the Non-Fiction List. . . If the New York Times considers it to be true, why doesn’t Cenk Uygur?

      Very wise move my friend! Just like the saying” Just because your paranoid doesn’t mean there is no one following you” However, I have learned from my Bible, and my church that Jesus is a big boy, and can take the insults, and the insults and the bad mouthing roll right off His back. He’s heard them all, and seen them all suffered them all right here on plant earth.. He just considers the source, as do I. Also He does say not to cast pearls before swine. They are ignorant, and everytime they open their mouths, it shows just how ignorant they are!

    I’m not taht familiar with the Bible -too much corruption and changes by the Catholic church over the years for me to take it as is. That said – there is a passage where I beleive Paul states“ the Lord has many houses” – taken to mean there are many paths to God – not just one. Then, who are we to question how God or Jesus would present themselves to a young boy? Would he not as an act of comfort, appear to the boy in a familiar guise – with blue eyes say? I would suspect that if this was a small African boy – God’s eyes would have been brown. I believe in a Supreme Being – without all the Cecil B. DeMille accurtrements. I‘m not so egotistical to expect that I can fathom even an iota of God’s mind. Is there a Supreme Being. Yes – do I understand what he/she/it wants – no. Do I believe leading as moral a life as I can will not send me to hell (loss of God’s light/love) – yes. Does the 10 commandments lay out that morality – yes – just as it does in many other religions that express the same idea without the number’d sequence. Laugh at this boy – no way. Laugh at Pat Robertson and the 900′ Jesus on the beach. Yea – sorry, but Pat Robertson is just too laughable was was Baker and others.

      You have it right, Dave. The most important thing is to live a righteous life. Spiritually is a personal thing for everyone. Being a member of any particular religion doesn’t guarantee that you are a decent person. It’s up to each and everyone of us to live our lives in the most honorable way possible.

      You are incorrect. When Jesus said, “In my Father’s house there are many mansions”, that is what he meant. You cannot translate manions into “paths”. There is only one Lord, one faith, one God and Father that is above all in all the through all”. Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to eternal life and few there be that find it. Wide is the path that leads to destruction and many that go therein.
      I don’t rely on stories on heaven to prove that God is real. Also, it is not good to share it with the world, Jesus said, “do not throw bread unto the dogs neither throw your pearls before swine unless they turn and rent at you again and again”. It is not wise to share our gifts or visions and experiences with those who are mockers and scoffers.

      Matthew 7:13-14
      Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
      Matthew 7:21-23
      Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
      John 14:1-6
      Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

      THERE ARE NOT MANY PATHS THAT LEAD TO HEAVEN, ONLY ONE; AND IT IS A NARROW PATH! “MANSIONS”, IS FROM THE TRANSLITERATED GREEK WORD “MONAI”. THE DEFINITION IS: LODGING, DWELLING-PLACE, ROOM, ABODE, MANSION (Strong’s Concordance #3438). MANSIONS DOES NOT MEAN PATHS, IT MEANS MANSIONS. PATHS IS FROM THE TRANSLITERATED GREEK WORD “TRIBOUS”. THE DEFINITION IS: A WORN PATH, BEATEN WAY, ROAD, HIGHWAY (Strong’s Concordance #5147). YOU JUST CAN’T SUBSTITUTE WORDS THAT YOU LIKE BETTER, FOR THE ONES THAT GOD PUT THERE TO START WITH, BECAUSE THAT IS CORRUPTION. THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE IS STILL THE MOST ACCURATE AND IT ISN’T A CATHOLIC VERSION OF THE BIBLE, BUT IF YOU DON’T TRUST IT EITHER, THEN READ THE ORIGINAL GREEK FOR YOURSELF. YOU CAN READ THE ENGLISH WORD, THE TRANSLITERATED GREEK WORD, AND THE GREEK WORD, PLUS THE STRONG’S NUMBER OF THAT WORD, COMPLETE WITH ALL OF THE POSSIBLE MEANINGS OF THAT WORD AT: http://biblos.com/
      YOU CAN READ IT IN THE ORIGINAL GREEK AND DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CORRUPTION AND CHANGES AND YOU CAN TAKE IT EXACTLY AS IT IS. “MANY PATHS TO HEAVEN” IS A NEW AGE DOCTRINE. IT IS THE WIDE GATE THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION. IT IS THE DOCTRINE OF DEVILS.
      1 Timothy 4:1-2
      Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
      DON’T GIVE HEED TO THESE SEDUCING SPIRITS AND THEIR PHILOSOPHY OF “MANY PATHS TO HEAVEN” BECAUSE THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO HELL WITH THEM.

      There are versions of the bible that have not been corrupted by the Catholic church. Please study the Bible and ask the Father to reveal His truth to you. (the only one true religion – You – God – Bible)
      I feel compelled to clarify one thing you said… It was not Paul rather it was John reciting Jesus’s words.
      John 14:2
      My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
      A house with many rooms does not imply many paths. Oprah Winfrey got grilled by the audience for saying that there were “many paths to God” Jesus clearly states in…
      John 14:6
      Jesus said unto him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

    This guy is a joke. He claims that he doesn’t want to dis the kid and then spends most of the clip doing exaclty that.

    There are things that can’t be explained and no one knows what this young child saw. Only he does and it is not my place to dispute what a person claims they have seen. I certainly would never mock anyone for their beliefs.

    Yes it may be hard to believe. One would have to know the family and their background and those are the things I don’t have any knowledge of. If it happened as the boys father said then it appears factual. I don’t know if the facts are true but I do believe that it is very possible.

    There are some people that will exploit their family for publicity and I am not saying this is one of them. As I said, I willl choose to believe the story until such time facts come out to disprove it.

    I just do not like the tact that Uygur used in this clip. He is saying what is real and what is not real with no knowledge of what Heaven is like or not like. That he doesn’t want to dis the kid then disses him. I have seen youtube clips of this joker while looking around and have not been able to finish watching any of them for the same reason I detest lookiing at this one.

    My question is why so many people feel the need to mock people of faith??

    I’m not sure why people mock those who have faith. Is it because they themselves feel so limited in their own selves that it is beyond their comprehension there could be anything truly great.

    Maybe it’s because small, petty people tend to mock the things they fear yet know they’ll never have.

    I believe this child’s story because I also had an out-of-body experience at age five. Children this young do not have the knowledge or experience to make something like this up. I floated out of my body towards the ceiling, and somehow managed to turn myself around – where I was shocked to see myself on a bed.

    That shocked me back into my body (along with a great deal of pain from my head injury). I immediately told my parents about this, but they said that I must have been dreaming. The thing is that I described my head injury before I looked into a mirror.

    As “Showtime” above has said, I also have vivid dreams that come true just as I’ve dreamed them. I also can tell when someone will soon die. The last person that I knew would soon die, left this earth in early February of this year.

    Whether or not one believes in any particular religion, there is “something” that exists after one’s body dies. This young boy believes in “Heaven” because he was taught that Heaven exists. Other beliefs may call Heaven something else.

    Having left my own body as a young child, I KNOW that there is a spirit or soul, or whatever one chooses to call it, because I experienced it for myself.

      “I floated out of my body towards the ceiling, and somehow managed to turn myself around – where I was shocked to see myself on a bed.”

      That’s what I did — float out of my body towards the ceiling. Since my side of the bunk was under the aft deck, I managed to turn on the plane rather than get more vertical before going through the transom. And it was, as you said, like I managed to change positions.

      That angel who stopped me had wings that reached all the way down to the bottom of his robe. Full body-length wings.

      I am another. I was 12, had been ill for a few days, and decided to take a nice, hot bath in an attempt to get to feeling better.
      As I stood to climb out of the tub I was suddenly viewing myself from above and watched as I fell forward into the sink and bounced back into the tub, arms and legs askew. Mom heard the banging around and rushed the door which I had locked out of preteen modesty. As she was pounding on the other side of the door everything went momentarily dark and I “awoke” back in the tub. When I unlocked the door the first things out of my mouth were “I saw it all from the ceiling!” Mom (and the dr who put 22 stitches in to close the gaping hole I’d managed to put on my forehead) both thought it was “a concussion” that was causing me to say such things. They didn’t understand I saw it before I ever hit my head.

      No one was ever able to explain why I’d “passed out and hit my head”.

    At her bedside when my mother died I caught a fleeting glimpse of my father as a young man with dark curly hair walking up to meet her–carrying a baby boy. I had given some thought to my parents being reunited in heaven, prior to her death, but I had totally forgotten for a time my brother who died on the day he was born sixty-three years before the year she died. When I saw the two of them, rather than just my dad, I believed that it was a real vision and not my imagination.

    I appreciate your honesty82! I always believed in God my whole life; told people I was a Christian, but I didn’t really have faith. Strong FAITH until I started reading the Bible about a year ago. I‘m an avid reader and one day wondered why I’d avoided one of the greatest books ever. So I bought an easy to read Bible and started reading it. And things started falling into place. Started to make sense. Then I started tagging along with my daughter to church now and then. And it felt so good, so comforting to be in a place where God is the main topic and everybody in the room deeply believes it. It’s the one place I could go to listen and learn and my questions and thoughts about religion were never criticized or mocked. And church is now one of the few places I feel “at home” in.

    It’s been an interesting journey.

      Thanks for your testimony Dagny! One phrase that has always kind of put things into perspective for me is “shadow proves the sunshine.” It’s so simple and obvious. For something that is “fiction”, the world really tries to put down and mock Christianity. They will continue until the end of days. They will never disprove the Trinity! Even satan and his fallen angels believe and they tremble with fear. The key is to follow Jesus. And that is something that takes a lifetime to perfect. Onward!

      “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” 11 Then the Devil left him, and, look! angels came and began to minister to him.

      I can’t help but wonder about the line “For it is written.” This is Jesus referring to the Bible(?) which had not been written yet. Where else would it have been written? The Torah? The message that Jesus taugh has been corrupted beyond belief. No one believes everything in the Bible. It was based on the Jewish culture of that time. If it’s all true, then where are my slaves?

    I read the book 2 months ago and I believe the boy and the book. Jesus to him looked just
    like the one painted by a young artist well known who paints from her dreams.
    Has anyone ever seen the the move the Pioneer Miracle? It too is a true story taken from a journal

      What planet are you from?

      A four-year-old dies, goes to Heaven and sits on the Lord’s lap, meets his sister, and comes back — that’s not NEWS?

      I had double pnewmonia in Florida while I was on the boat one year. I died and rose upwards from my body and went through the stern of the boat. An angel with HUGE wings told me to go back. I said I didn’t want to go back because I felt awful back there. I wanted to go “that way.” As I started off, he wrapped his huge wings around me and held me there. The wings were the softest things I had ever touched. They were like the softest microfiber or softest suede you can imagine. He said it was not time for me yet. I told him okay and he let me loose. Back through the stern of the boat I went and lowered myself back into my body.

      The strange part is what has happened in the years since. Until that time, I dreamed every night, and I probably still do. The difference is that, NOW, IF I REMEMBER A DREAM, IT WILL COME TRUE. That has been the case for the past 20 years, ever since that happened.

      Revelation 12:9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

      Satan can and does mislead many with lying portents and signs (visions). He did it with Jesus.
      Matthew 4:5 Then the Devil took him along into the holy city, and he stationed him upon the battlement of the temple 6 and said to him: “If you are a son of God, hurl yourself down; for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a charge concerning you, and they will carry you on their hands, that you may at no time strike your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus said to him: “Again it is written, ‘You must not put Jehovah your God to the test.’”

      8 Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9 and he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” 11 Then the Devil left him, and, look! angels came and began to minister to him.

    Just read this touching book last week — could hardly put it down and lost sleep as I read late into the night. This family does not deserve the derision they received from Uygur, formerly of The Young Jerks, or was that Turks?

    Jesus cautioned that His servants should not expect to be treated better than their Master; what a shame for an adult to publicly attack a young child and his family this way. When Uygur speaks, we don’t learn anything about this family but do learn a lot about the type of person Uyger is at heart.

      Okay. I have asked this question many times of many people for years. I’ll try it again here. Maybe someone can help me:

      I do believe in God. I am not terribly secure in that belief. I don’t really understand it very well. I know for a fact I should not be here. Even with all of my training, the great people I served with and whatever intelligence I have I should be dead several times over. Ergo there is more to life than meets the eye.

      I can deal with that. My question is why so many people feel the need to mock people of faith?? And it certainly doesn’t stop there. It gets much worse than mocking and downright vicious at times. I have seen it tonight on The Blaze. I freely admit that I am jealous of folks with deep religious beliefs. I see the strength & comfort they receive from their faith. I would still not deride other people simply because I am jealous or don’t understand. It isn’t because I am such a swell guy. Trust me I am not all that nice of a person. It would just never occur to me.

      I don’t know where to begin. I asked my daddy if he believed in God. My daddy never lied, not to me, not to anyone. He couldn’t stand a liar or a thief. He said he believed in God and asked me to look around. Could I do what God had done to create the world, the regularity of the seasons, to put life into a person. God had made me his daughter, too, and I felt I had the best daddy around.

      During an impossible time in my life, after I’d lost my job was three months behind on everything, was about to end up on the street with no place to go, I took my neighbor’s advice and filed for Social Security. I think that because my first husband was a veteran who served during a time of war, I received an amount over and above what I would have gotten otherwise, and the total amount was enough for me to make it each month. The room filled with a golden light, and I felt the arms of Jesus around me! I have never felt so loved in my life.

      Because I had written a letter of inquiry two months earlier, in THREE DAYS enough had been deposited into my checking account to COMPLETELY catch me up on my bills! On the third Wednesday, my first regular monthly check was deposited.

      I was in church one night, and Nathan Cavenaugh was the deacon and had the service that night. At the end, he asked us all to pray. He urged us to tell the Lord about anything that was troubling us. He continued to urge and would then not speak for a few moments. “Is there anything else you would like the Lord to take off of your shoulders, any burden you would like lifted?” Finally, when he felt that we had had sufficient time to sweep out all of our troubles and asked the Lord to dispose of them for us, he ended the prayer. I felt absolutely pure inside! That’s what faith will do for you.

      God is Who gives us HOPE. God is Who gives us CHANGE. Hope and change come from the Lord, not some smooth-talking long-legged Mack Daddy from Kenya who came from a broken home and was raised by Communists!

      The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
      The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
      The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

      to 82nd Airbourne -

      May I most respectfully refer you to the first Chapter of the Book of Romans, with particular attention to verses 16-32? I would highlight verse 21: “For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

      The rest of the chapter goes on to explain what happens to someone who does this. Basically, those who do not believe see those who are believers as “fools”, and that‘s okay because that’s all they can do. It’s where they are at. If you are interested, please take a look at I Peter 2: 7-8.

      I’m not interested in starting a religious argument or getting into semantics here. I’m just answering your question. I think the unbelievers are compelled to mock and deride simply out of their own conviction. For me, I see it as a sad place to be in, and pray for them, but they believe they are right. Some day, they may change their minds, but until then, that is what they are going to do.

      They don’t mock people of faith because they think they are wrong or stupid or something like that. They do it because they are afraid. They‘re afraid of what they can’t understand because they won’t open up to that possiblity, afraid because if they do beleive it will end everything they ahve been taught all their lives. And I think a large part of the fear is envy, we can beleive in something great and they can’t get heir tiny little minds around it.
      As far as some posters talking about fox hole atheist, I’ve BEEN at war and BEEN under fire and I can tell you that there are NO athiest on the battlefield. Sure they will tell you,”I never was worried…” but Ive also heard them crying for good to help them too, such assh%$es…just sayin’

      @ 82nd

      Because if they admit that God exists they have to admit that they are sinners, which we all are, and many are just to vain to do that or just enjoy living in sin so much they are not willing to give that up. They want to believe that they have all the answers, they want to believe that they can do whatever they want without God telling them it’s wrong. So it‘s easier to just believe He doesnt’ exist.

      In my personal opinion the extent to which one will go in criticizing or mocking God says a lot about whats in their heart. If someone doesn’t believe but tries to do whats right and be a good person for the sake of humanity, they won’t necessarily have a problem with others for believing. But if they feel guilty because they know they are not a good person or they know that they are living in what the Bible considers sin then they get defensive about it and feel that they have to tear it down to justify their own actions or thoughts. Just like an adulterer is likely to blame the spouse for being overbearing, uncaring or emotionally unstable to justify their own cheating, a sinner who is unwilling to change will do the same when it comes to God. Again, just my humble opinion ;)

      Like most bullies, they think if they mock you or worse, they will silence you from spreading the word of salvation to others.

      By the way, you say you aren’t secure in your belief. I suggest you have a real honest conversation with God and if you haven’t invited Jesus into your life, try it. Feel his love. Trust in him, that is faith. Remember, if you ask forgiveness, all that is past is forgotten. That means you can leave it behind too and have renewed hope. No matter what you have done in the past, you are worthy of his love. All you have to do is ask. I hope you find that unshakable faith.

      Also I agree with a simple man Hebrews 11:1 and 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Has he never heard of the resurection and what the Bible teaches about the dead rising to meet Jesus and getting a new incorruptable body? Why is he so hung up on Jesus’ smile?……. Weird! People can talk about religion comfortably until you bring up Jesus. “The Dividing Rod” They don’t want to hear about the ONLY way, truth and life. It would mean they would have to give up their way. Jesus just makes alot of people uncomfortable and has been for 2000yrs!
      I have always wondered why so many pictures of Jesus showed him with blue eyes. I always thought that was an anglo thing that came from the artist. I always try to imagine Jesus looking Hebrew with olive kind of skin and brown eyes because I think that is what Jewish Hebrews most generally look like. But I have no idea how predominant blue eyes are. I know I can’t stand those old manger scenes with a blonde haired Swedish looking baby Jesus.

      “For the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hidden in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.” Mat13:44

      The kingdom of heaven is just like a treasure hidden in a field: so in other words, it’s something very special, and not obvious for all to see; and those that are not seeking to find the kingdom, or to understand the mysteries of the kingdom will pass right over this great treasure and not even know what they’re missing; and in this case, the treasure isn’t buried in a field, for it is hidden in the parables; and instead of using a pick and shovel, those that seek to understand the mysteries of the kingdom must find it by revelation. ”

      I’ve watched a lot of these type of stories on a show called “I Survived – Beyond and Back”. It runs on Bio channel now and again. I always record the new ones and have my kids watch it with me.

      None of the stories are exactly the same, but they’re usually very similar. You can see the emotion in the people’s faces as they tell their stories. They tell of experiencing love, peace, and instant understanding of their life events. Some even say God spoke to them in a voice, which sounds like thunder and/or a huge waterfall. They all say things like “time didn’t exist or was irrelevant”. I’m convinced time is just an illusion for the living. A necessary illusion, but an illusion, nonetheless. Einstein‘s theory of relativity tells us time isn’t as linear as we think it is and supports this, at least in my opinion.

      Most of the people who tell their stories say they’re no longer afraid of dying or, in some cases, look forward to it so they can return. The one episode, which really struck me, was the guy who went to Hell. He said he know instantly where he was and didn’t question why he was there. He understood immediately what eternity meant, and there was no escaping the horror that was Hell. He was later “rescued” by God and heard him say, in the voice like thunder, “It is not yet your time”. That man has since changed his life dramatically, he said.

      It’s a very powerful show and will strengthen your faith. I highly recommend watching it.

      My sister passed away from cancer in Nov of last year. As she withered from cancer, she would have periods where she could communicate clearly. Towards the end, my niece, who came back to N.J. to be with her, said she took ahold of her hand and softly said “it‘s a really nice place where I’m going.”

      You have to remember that the Progressives/Communists/Far Left/Muslims- whatever you want to call the people that want to destroy America- have to destroy Christianity. That’s why you see the Left/Muslims constantly villifying Christianity.

      If you don’t know it, our country was founded on Christian principles. Unfortunately, the morals of our country have been eroded by a concerted effort to eliminate those principles. Demonize/Marginalize Christianity by taking it out of the schools, off of municipal buildings, out of town squares, and you are on your way to eventually destroying the morals we need as a free society.

      Replace those religious/moral underpinnings with multiculturalism nonsense, and you get what you see in France and England. To the far-left, there is no better way to attack America that to erase Christianity from our lives through constant attacks on it’s principles.

      Personally, I know the Lord God is big enough to know each of his children individually and gives them what they can handle, especially when the soul leaves the body behind. This boy saw what the Lord God wanted him to see that would comfort him, that would give him hope, that would say to this boy in no uncertain terms there is greater reward in choosing good.

      The young Turk laughs it up out of fear–nothing else, but fear. Apparently in his life what little he’s seen of the Lord God has frightened him to the roots of his being, to the point where he stopped looking to the Lord God and started looking to men for his salvation. Nothing is more frightening than the unknown, unless it is an unknown that is also incapable of being controlled. I pity the man, I really do, because the greatest punishment of any soul I can think of would be that moment of realization that your life on Earth was a lie, that every good thing you’ve ever done was in vain because you had no faith, only fear. Existing with the knowledge that you disappointed your Creator as well as yourself would be a greater torment than any burning hell ever devised by the minds of men. If you’re me, you have to wonder, too, if a soul tormented like that wouldn’t beg for another chance to rectify his egregious error. Were it me, I know I would, which may be the basis of reincarnation. Only the Lord God knows.

      Cenk should not laugh at the boy. Mental illness is not something to be mocked. We know have come to interpret Saint Augustine’s description of his encounter with God as an epileptic seizure, which he suffered from for much of his life. We also know that certain changes in brain chemistry occurring at moments of near-death experience can cause the consistent descriptions seen in many accounts of “meeting one’s maker.” This hardly constitutes proof of heaven. So those who are skeptical ought to be lauded rather than criticized. On the other hand, it is impossible to disprove the existence of pink unicorns, UFO abductions and God, so while we socially should learn to keep our fantasies to ourselves, we should also not laugh too much at folks who have experienced these mental states since they feel real enough to those going through them. Moreover, the person in question in this case is a child, so additional care and understanding is merited. Kudos to Cenk for being a rational skeptic, but shame on him for laughing at a child with at least a temporary mental aberration. But shame on Beck for shamelessly profiting from this constant war-on-Christianity meme–it’s so exploitative and divisive.

      The existence of God is completely falsifiable. All you have to do is prove that everything can be accounted for through scientific determinism.

      Unfortunately, since you need free will in order to go through the process of proving anything, and free will is, by definition, not deterministic, the existence of God is actually proven by the existence of free will.

      A Doctor,

      “The existence of God is completely falsifiable. All you have to do is prove that everything can be accounted for through scientific determinism.”

      Wow. You are a doctor, but you know so little about science. That is really scary. A few little hints for you: 1) Science approaches all knowledge as probabilistic, so nothing is ever completely disproven, just highly unlikely. 2) Moreover, science only deals with the empirical realm, which religion has generally retreated from, including this boy’s claims of a higher, unobservable heaven. 3) No scientist would claim that we can eradicate religion, since it is mathematically impossible to prove a negative (i.e., the non-existence of God).

      “Unfortunately, since you need free will in order to go through the process of proving anything, and free will is, by definition, not deterministic, the existence of God is actually proven by the existence of free will.”

      Have you even attempted to read Darwin? His work is extremely important since it shows that more complex organization can come from lower level precedents. What’s more, the greater complexity is not held captive to the precedent. So structures can be “freed” for new purposes unencumbered by the prior structures. Hence, we can use thumbs in a way that whales cannot use their front fins. What’s more, the development of that thumb gives rise to tool-making that whales did not experience. This can evolve higher levels of thinking and symbol manipulation, which give rise to culture, literature, even religion. It also creates a mind large and flexible enough to have consciousness and free will. You do not need God to explain its existence, nor do you need to rely upon material determinism, since it didn’t have to turn out that way. But once that spark of consciousness and free will came about, the older strictures on thinking started to lesson. They remain there, but not to the point of making free will impossible.

      There is much we do not know about the mind and how it evolved, but that is the best theory we have today. And it doesn’t require God. Sorry to say.

      This was a four year old boy under anesthesia, and could have been in and out of semi consciousness.
      We can think about this and we can logically assume he was in and out of dream state.
      And to understand the purpose of a person going to heaven we can read some of it in Revelation 5:6-10.

      But look at verse 9 and 10, The twenty-four older persons are saying to Jesus :
      And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, because you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”

      This is their purpose, their assignment, to act as priests to our God and to rule as kings over the earth.
      Now, my friends, do we really think this four year old boy went there for a visit?

      When a person goes to heaven, he or she does not come back.

      With all due respect, it takes more faith to believe that there is no God and this all just “happened” then it does to believe in a Creator. To believe in Darwinism, or the big bang theory, whatever, is like saying if you took all the parts of a clock, completely dismantled, and put them in a big box, then rapidly shook that box for a million years and opened it, you would find a perfectly functioning clock. Personally, I believe you can have no clock without the Clockmaker.

      But when i looked up, I felt embraced, as by a Father, with a love i had never known before and a voice in my head “Not now, but when the time comes, you will know’, or something like that.
      The words are unclear, but the message was crystal.
      I was told there are plans for me and to stay vigilant.
      Now, i didn’t have a vision, and no angel appeared before me. Just a hug and some words.
      But.
      My life for the last 12 years or so has seemed to be driven, protected. there have been countless times when i was at my absolute end, and a “miricle” event would occure to bring me from the brink.
      Now I may not be a smart man, but tying those events in my life signifies to me something more powerful than my own ability to control my destiny through personal actions.

      I have always believed in “providence”, which I describe as walking a path. You have an object in your path, it is your choice to pick it up or leave it be. You have a split in your path. You have the choice to take left or right. All of these personal decisions make up your “fate’, but it is all still chosen by the individual.

      EXCELLENT arguement! I wish i had the education to say what you have, never got the chance!
      I have studied darwinism against nearly every religion on the planet, back to the Sumarian beliefs that the “gods” came down and forced the Sumarians to mine gold for them, in exchange gave mankind mathematics, geometry, advanced physiology and astrophysics to include advanced trigonometry.
      I don’t know what this means in the grand scheme, or even if it matters. All I know is I was born with such an imaginative and analytical brain, and i have contemplated for the last 28 years, and I KNOW God has spoken to me, and we are in the times we are.
      In my life, and my studies, all I know is Acts 2:38, “And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
      Repentance. How can you argue with that? The act of repentance requires you to look back on the actions and deeds one’s self has committed in his life, and be truely sorry for the things that were wrong to do. Maybe not even sinful, but just mean, or bad…no what Christ would have wanted you to do.
      if nothing else, Christ was a teacher ofphilosophy, and the way to treat everyone else around you, and if all persons acted with that philosophy in mind, then there would be no “evil” acts in this world.
      That is the basis of Christian philosophy, and the basis of my faith and hope in mankind.

      Many comments here reflect a belief in a person visiting heaven at near death.

      Be careful people, Satan is a master deceiver causing confusion as to what is truth.
      Consider these three scriptures:

      2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent seduced Eve by its cunning, YOUR minds might be corrupted away from the sincerity and the chastity that are due the Christ.
      2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.
      2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 But the lawless one’s presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents 10 and with every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth that they might be saved.

      The idea of visiting heaven in a near death situation is NOT a scriptural teaching.
