Tales of the afterlifeCNN, Proof of heaven, May 19th, 2013, John Blake religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/19/proofs-of-heaven-popular-but-not-with-the-church/?hpt=hp_c2“God, help me!” Eben Alexander shouted and flailed as hospital orderlies tried to hold him in place. But no one could stop his violent seizures, and the 54-year-old neurosurgeon went limp as his horrified wife looked on. That moment could have been the end. But Alexander says it was just the beginning. He found himself soaring toward a brilliant white light tinged with gold into “the strangest, most beautiful world I’d ever seen.” Alexander calls that world heaven, and he describes his journey in “Proof of Heaven,” which has been on The New York Times bestseller list for 27 weeks. Alexander says he used to be an indifferent churchgoer who ignored stories about the afterlife. But now he knows there’s truth to those stories, and there’s no reason to fear death. “Not one bit,” he said. “It’s a transition; it’s not the end of anything. We will be with our loved ones again.” Heaven used to be a mystery, a place glimpsed only by mystics and prophets. But popular culture is filled with firsthand accounts from all sorts of people who claim that they, too, have proofs of heaven after undergoing near-death experiences.

Thanks for the post
Tell everyone back in Indiana I said - Hey!
It is interesting that disbelief in anything has come to be the mainstream.
Instead of preaching the promise of heaven has been usurped by preaching the fear of hell - yet that even doesn't sway the population. It is almost as if everyone has been conditioned not to believe in anything.
Our government says something and my first thought is that it is a lie - how about you?
Iraq had weapons of mass destruction - no they didn't.
911 was orchestrated by a guy in a cave - I doubt it.
2012 is the end - no it wasn't
Nibiru is coming - I doubt it
Obama care will help all of us and make our live better - I doubt that too.
Even marriages today are forever - until they're not.
Morality has changed from religious absolute to situation morality.
Heaven and the love of God is real - yet most will repent tomorrow, right after they start that diet they also talk about.
Interesting times we live in.
