If you want to be technical about it, I never said you made a conclusion, did I? I mearly questioned whether you read your own posted definition...

I dunno, perhaps one would return "home" with God... Man said that "sin" was unforgivable, in a book, poorly translated... You do NOT have to believe everything you read...

"Practically eternal" and "almost infinite" are contradictory and impossible by definition, don't you think?
