I am quite certain of my knowledge. That does not mean I am unwilling to reconsider it, necessarily.
My very certainty is my faith in my correctness. I don't troll very often, if one considers trolling an attempt to get a negative emotional rise out of someone. However, I do often take positions which are not my own... as my girlfriend summarized when i was using 'big words' to say this: "to prove a point."

Everything does... your point? It shouldn't be a particularly arduos task, take the Bible: Jesus dies.
Quote:The real answer is that hell exists as a word in language with a rich past in the stories of Man.
Hell is a place on Earth, just as every person's body is a temple. Their pleasure a celebration, their suffering a lamentation... Heaven and Hell are where pleasure is the greatest and where suffering is the greatest. Stories are indeed told of this, and it is considered part of various spiritualisms... people want to go to 'the happy place' when they die, and they largely want to avoid 'the torture place', though they may wish people they hate go there. Afterdeaths, hehe.
That's 'the real answer'. Just like every other one
I should note on the spirituality, how one might observe Christian Heaven to be a benign slavery, and Christian Hell to be an unlimited freedom... but it seems like a lot of needless work, and ultimately a side-tracking
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
