I'm not upset by it that deeply.  When I hear the word sin I just think it's talking about some rules that were there for a religious person to follow.  When I think of hell I think that'd be hot and overcrowded and I wouldn't like to go there.  Burning hurts and I imagine burning forever would get be boring and also painful at the same time after a few billion millenniums of burning.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
