I recent switched to ABC Evening News after they impressed me with their Made in America series. And I was pretty happy about the change until last night, May 18th. In a feature questioning whether there is a heaven, they presented two opposing points of view. One was Stephen Hawking, one of the great minds our time, who has said that the human body is like a computer and when it fails, it has no future of any kind. Now I would have welcomed another opinion if it were a respected theologian or even a long-term priest. But the expert they chose was that idiot child, Todd Burpo, whose fraudulent parents have written a sham book about little Bupry's visit to heaven during a failed operation. Of course his visions are nothing but white Protestant cliches giving them no credibility at all except with the most gullible fundamentalists. I cannot believe that ABC News would have such an absurd and shameful report comparing the philosophy of a genius and the fabrications of a twerp.
