Do you think Bill Wiese and Mary K Baxter are frauds?

Asked by Jabe73 (4010points) August 26th, 2010

Bill Wiese has a book out called “23 Minutes in Hell” and Mary K Baxter has her own book out called “A Divine Revelation of Hell”. Both books talk about personal experiences of a literal “fire and brimstone” hell, about being sent there and then back to tell others of the reality of hell. What are your opinions of these two similar but yet different stories of hell? Do you believe they are both frauds or maybe one of them is telling the truth and not the other? Is this deliberate fraud, hallucinations, nightmares or a real experience? If you are on the side that they are deliberately lying then what do you think their motivations were? Money, fame, conversion to literal bible believing Christianity (the end justifies the means) or a combination of all of these? I prefer to keep this discussion limited to one or both of these individuals accounts of hell rather than a religious bashing. What do you think of these two people and their stories? I was hoping whoever answers this has at least some familiarity with at least one of these stories.
