Christian Boy Dies For 3 Minutes, Meets
Allah in Heaven
A young Christian boy who briefly
died on a surgeon’s operating table this weekend says he met someone named
Allah in heaven.
Bobby Anderson, the son of a
well-known Christian pastor in Atlanta, suffered internal injuries from an
automobile accident and was technically dead for 3 minutes before being resuscitated.
During that time the 12-year-old claims he visited the afterlife and spoke to
several leading figures of the Islamic religion.
“I didn’t see Jesus anywhere,” he
told WGCL news after the ordeal. “There was someone named Allah. And someone
named Mohammad. And there were 72 very beautiful women all around me.
“But I didn’t see anyone in my family. Not
even grandma and grandpa. Everyone there had darker skin. They weren’t like us
at all.
“I asked my father ‘Why wasn’t
Jesus in heaven daddy?’ He couldn’t give me an answer. I’d never heard of Allah
before this, but now I’m gonna read more about him. He seems pretty real to
me.”
Bobby Anderson’s story bears
striking similarities to that of Colton Burpo, a pastor’s son who briefly died
during surgery and later claimed to have met with Jesus in heaven.
Coulton’s story was told in the
popular book Heaven is For Real, which is now a major motion picture starring
Greg Kinnear and Thomas Hayden Church.
Although the Burpo's family's
story had a happy and lucrative ending, the Anderson family has been torn apart
by Bobby's claims.
However, Todd Anderson, Bobby’s
father, says his son’s experience has not made him question his own deeply held
Christian faith.
“It’s kinda
disturbing to me that he didn’t meet Jesus in heaven,” he told reporters, “but
clearly my son is suffering from some sort of schizophrenia or something.
“I mean seeing
Jesus in heaven, that's a miracle. No question. But seeing Allah in heaven?
That's crying out for a heavy dose of antipsychotic medication."
