Every Religion claims to know, and the Afterlife has become the Benchmark of manipulation within these Religions to control people with ideas that cannot be proven.

Over the Millenniums of time, we have watched this process evolve from not knowing, to knowing, yet nothing has really changed accept Religion. And Religion has learned, when there are no more chips left on the table, there is one left no one can see but them, called, the Afterlife.

It's Religions Ace in the Hole! The Grand Finale! The Last Straw! The Perfect Ploy to control the Weak with Fear! It's The Feast and Table Spread of the Superstitious!

Well my own brother who was very non-religious to say the least. was down that road some years ago when he was in a dying state. He stated he saw his wife first and then our mother and other relatives and friends he had known, coming towards him with outstretched arms and beautiful smiles from within a tunnel full of very bright light.... After that he regained conscience much to his disgust as he wouldn't have minded if he had died there & then, the sensation was so beautiful, peaceful and joyful!
If you have difficulty in believing what scripture teaches us in this regard, just take a look on you tube at so many afterlife experiences!

The money has already rolled in, over ten million books sold, Hannity is interviewing him tonight. Yep, it is gonna roll in, but that doesn't proof he is lying.

If I can't prove what he is saying is true, then I believe it is a lie. People say a million things about realms beyond this one, especially when they are asleep having a dream.

So, your non-religious brother saw a vision of going to a place beyond this one. Hmmm...all the more reason to not believe him.

No offense, jacko, but this doesn't prove anything. Anyone can have a "Vision" or a "Dream" like the Mormons have, telling people about places and planets that supposedly exist. Did he see 72 Virgins waiting for him? Oh wait, that's what the Muslims believe.

Well, if a four year old says things about his father and his great grandfather that he could not have known, he must have experienced what he says. A fourteen maybe, but a four year old??

There plenty I don't understand, and even if this is true, I'm not sure what the story means to us.

That's the problem, crakjak, people say things that are full of mystery and we immediately presume it means what we want it to mean.

Do you think children from other Religions have the same experience? If they do, then what?

This child's experience doesn't prove there is an afterlife anymore than someone having a dream that appears to "Connect the Dots" of the unknown.

Like I said in my original post, Religions have evolved into this dogma, the direct warning sign of a lie.

NotForSale... I guess you'll have to wait until you die until you find out the answer for the question you have posed. Not sure why you've posed the question here, as you certainly aren't expecting to get an answer this side of eternity. Many may try to answer, but no answer will suit you, because you don't want to know the answer until you die....

You go on and believe whatever you want to believe, and I'll believe what the Bible tells me.

There is a road that leads to "consent".
