Not long time ago I have watched new movie "God's not dead". This movie about some Christian who could convince of his teacher that God is. And have you watched this movie?
Bruce, Todd Burpo and his family live in Imperial, Nebraska. Have you even considered the possibility that he fabricated the story of "Heaven is for Real" about his son's near death experience and the alleged encounter his son had with Jesus in "Heaven", so that his family would get publicity and make $$$$$ from this story of "Heaven is for Real"? I think it's bad enough that a person would bear false testimony about the existence of a higher power and afterlife, but to have his entire family go along with this sort of shenanigan to make money from naive people of faith is really disgusting. I would be interested to see the polygraph results if Todd Burpo were to take a lie detector test about the entire shenanigan of his son's "miraculous" experiences.
Religious discussions get flagged & deleted because they are specifically disallowed in the rules of this form. And I assume the reason for that is that people get very emotionally charged about these discussions & they lead to angry discourse.
For example, his mother had a miscarriage. The little boy, during his NDE, met his "sister" in heaven. When he spoke to his family, they were amazed, because the miscarriage had occured before the boy was born, and they had never taught him about his "sister" and her death in the womb.
The boy tells of his visit with his many deceased family members and tells with joy of his wonderful experience meeting "God". The movie stars Greg Kinnear as the boy's father, which is also nice, because Kinnear is a good actor who has many film appearances to his credit. The family actually lives in the state of Oklahoma, U.S.A. I think. Here is the book that the movie is based upon.
"Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back" Paperback – November 2, 2010 by Todd Burpo (Author) Lynn Vincent (Author) ISBN-10: 0849946158
Oh yes Natalia, I know about that movie. It is based upon the book "Heaven is for real"

It is about the 5 year old boy (much older now, and a young teen I think) who had a near death experience (NDE) and told of his a visit to heaven.
He was able to tell his family about things he had never experience in his short life.
Matt, I have no tolerance for religious propaganda on a language learning website. However, I welcome such debates about religious propaganda here and I will not flag this discussion.
