I watched the movie Heaven is for real, based on the book by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent. The movie is about a boy and his family who are having some seemingly bad luck. The boys’ father works multiple jobs he is a pastor of a church, he is a handy-man, and a priest for the dying in a hospital. The boy gets sick and his appendix ruptured. When he wakes up he has visited heaven and met Jesus, he also knows things he shouldn’t such as his dad yelling at god in the hospital chapel. He explains that he saw the doctors working on him and angels singing. My views on religion are very diverse. I was brought up catholic, turned Christian when my mother converted, and now I am unsure. I believe all gods are as possible as another. When I think of gods or the afterlife I picture the Christian version with Jesus, angels, cherubs, etc. Though I subconsciously hope for this outcome, I would accept any outcome be it God, Buddha, Allah, Zeus, Kali, or Osiris. I also see myself as powerless to do anything about what afterlife exists, but I’ll accept any of them. If I died and Buddha was the one to appear in front of me I believe he or any other god would be as forgiving and understanding to all of us. We may never fully understand how the afterlife is until we get there, later rather than sooner in my opinion. For now all we can do is have faith in something and act goodly towards others, as any god would ask of us. I truly enjoyed the movie and the paper for making me think of how I view
