Nearly five years after it hit bestseller lists, a book that purported to be a six-year-old boy's story of visiting angels and heaven after suffering a bad car crash is being pulled from shelves. The young man at the center of The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven, Alex Malarkey, said this week that the story was all made up.
"I did not die. I did not go to Heaven," Alex Malarkey wrote. He continued, "I said I went to heaven because I thought it would get me attention. When I made the claims that I did, I had never read the Bible.

are they saying it is a bunch of malarkey?
So, you’re saying that this story by the Malarkeys is a bunch of... Malarkey??

Great minds and all that, huh?

great minds? Nah, that was a hanging curve ball if I ever saw one.
He should just say, ‘At this point, what difference does it make?’
Oh, I’ve got the giggles now over this. This is nuts.
I really missed this story.
Their name is Malarkey ????????
Oh, that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in quite a while.
And the publisher never... ??? LOLOOLOLOL “skeptical” of the story ???
This should really end with the people who decided to publish the book getting fired.... and both them and the person firing them... not being able to stop laughing.
Paging George Costanza, pick up the white courtesy phone.
I did enjoy “Heaven Is For Real”, a similar story about the Burpo family, not the Malarkeys. Boy has Near Death Experience and claims to see Jesus and Angels.
In Heaven Is For Real the boy meets a sister who died before he was born and the parents say they never told the boy about this. When he came back he asked his mom about his sister - who he only knew about because of seeing her in heaven.
So the parents could be making this all up - after all they did profit from it all. However, I have heard similar stories from people who never tried to get a payoff for their experience.
They’re all nonesense. ...but people are gullible and love to believe what they want to believe.
It takes no brains to make up a story and run with it....that’s why you shouldn’t swallow this stuff. Unless you’re looking at it as fiction and “entertainment”.
Meanwhile they all get an audience and make money. And the public eats it up.
Sounds like there’s mom vs. dad divorce issues too. God only knows.

Same here but you know how the athiest left will try to spin this...

Q
The left will think they are one in the same though. Knee jerk reactions without checking sources and verifying information is one of the left’s specialties
True enough. Problem around here is you gotta move fast if you are to get the low hanging fruit. It doesn’t go unclaimed for long.
