(Per Wikipedia) “In the book, Christian pastor Todd Burpo writes that during the months after his emergency surgery in 2003, his son Colton began describing events and people that seemed impossible for him to have seen or met. Examples include his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born. Colton also claimed that he personally met Jesus riding a rainbow-colored horse and sat in Jesus' lap, while the angels sang songs to him. He also says he saw Mary kneeling before the throne of God and at other times standing beside Jesus.”
-.-.-.-.
OK, let’s say, for the sake of argument, all of this is true. How does young Colton know that the woman he saw is Mary and might not be Mary’s neighbor, Gladys? “Oh, Bill! Don’t be silly!” OK, then, try this: go up separately to six deeply religious Christians and ask them to provide you an exact physical description of Mary. If I’m placing bets, I’ll bet none of the six will match. Which of course brings us back to Gladys….
