First, I think Earth, this existence, is hell. Death is a release. And I'll read the bible itself, not someone else's interpretation of it. A pit of stench and fire for eternity? There's that load again.

Sounds like typical post modern hypnosis at work again. Where did you get your original manuscripts of the Bible? And how do you know which books belong to it? Oh what does it matter? You'll put your own liberal spin on whatever you read.

Uh-huh. Well, some of us believe THAT to be a heaping pile of fertilizer. "I think" is the arbiter of all truth. There is no bigger moral cop-out than the classic 1970's statement "Earth is Hell" it's just an excuse to take it easy in life and indulge yourself in giving into weakness.

My my my. Aren't you full of yourself? And determining me to be a liberal by 3 or 4 sentences. You must have be able to see the politics, the hearts and the souls of every being on earth.

I'll read King James version, a gift from my Grandfather, if that meets with your high standards. And if it doesn't: tough sh**.

How you interpret the "Earth is Hell" statement is your opinion, not shared by all. And I'm sure you have no indulgences, being a living prophet. Shall we all genuflect to you now?
