I've noticed the same, though I can't blame them for not knowing; after all, they don't have a living prophet to tell them the words of God. We now know much about how Heaven will look, where it will be, who will be there, and what kinds of things we can expect to happen once we attain exaltation on high.

Then perhaps I'm one of your wrong-headed Christians all over, because I believe God has revealed to me through study and prayer that the things I believe are true. I feel like anything contrary to my faith is either false for the sake of misleading us, or its explanation will be revealed at a later date. God's ways are not our own, so we can't expect everything all at once. I believe that we receive knowledge line upon line, precept upon precept.

What if I don't want to go to Heaven or Hell? Hmmm?
It's a good thing God always knows what's best for us. I know you don't think so now, but you might sing a different tune once you know what's in store for you. The only hell we believe in is the one of our own making. Hell can either take place while you are alive, or once you are dead in spirit form. There is no hell when you are resurrected.
