Guess what?

He made it all up.

Surprise!!




Christian publisher Tyndale House is pulling its bestseller "The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven" after its now-teenaged subject admitted he made the story up, the Washington Post reported Thursday.

"I did not die. I did not go to heaven," Alex Malarkey said in a statement published on the Christian website Pulpit and Pen. "I said I went to heaven because I thought it would get me attention."

"People have profited from lies, and continue to," he added. "They should read the Bible, which is enough."

Alex was 6 years old when he was involved in a devastating car crash that left him in a two-month coma. When he regained consciousness, he claimed that angels had escorted him through the gates of heaven and that he had met and spoke with Jesus.

His account served as the basis for the 2010 New York Times bestseller, co-authored by his father, Kevin Malarkey.

Alex’s mother, Beth Malarkey, has been a longtime critic of the book. The Washington Post noted a blog post she wrote about it in April.

"When Alex first tried to tell a 'pastor' how wrong the book was and how it needed stopped, [he] was told that the book was blessing people," she wrote. She said it was "puzzling and painful" to watch the book continue to sell.

Alex, who still has health problems as a result of the accident, has not received financial proceeds from the book, she added.

"There are many who are scamming and using the Word of God to do it," she said.

Yeah Christians really need something to desperately believe...None of us really want to wind up an embittered old shrew or a brain dead alcoholic...I mean faced with the choice of believing in a God or being sludged together evolutionarily from  primordial toad shit I guess I'll pick the cleaner one...but far be it from me to suggest you are not dead right. All of existence may just be dream.....er nightmare to most.

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Oh so now you're suggesting if you don't believe you're going to wind up a shrew or an alcoholic? LOL! You're a believer and look how you wound up. A warped old conspiracy theorist Nazi.

Oh don't assign that to me, revenge is your forte.

If I wanted to get revenge I would have done so and got right on here and gladly admitted it. The best part of revenge is saying "ha! ha! screw you". If I get revenge, I want them to know it's from me.
