With all due respect, so many of these "I've seen heaven" stories have turned out to be scams that I take them all with a grain of salt now.

Heaven is for Real: 'The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven' Admits it Was a Hoax

I’ll confess that, though I do believe in supernatural events, voice of God, and miracles (since we’ve experienced them), I’m with you on the “I’ve seen Heaven” stuff. Frankly, I consider them all, like mine, personal. To anyone else they are second hand stories, which is what atheists call the death and resurrection of Christ.

I'm a little confused how that sort of thing could be a scam?   If you don't believe something that someone tells you, how would you think it was a scam?   Then again, if you decided you believed a person's account and then you stopped believing it, again, why would you consider it a scam?

Someone saying they saw bigfoot and asked for money to go hunt for it, would be a scam.

Someone telling of a personal experience, is up to you to believe or not as you choose.

As do i, however, To Hell and Back with Dr. Rawlings? I consider the most persuasive - with exception of the second story,
