Yep, that's what's happening. No chance at all that we're just indulging in a slightly comedic intellectual exercise, the prime source of fodder being the subversion of a commonplace and predominant christian theological trope that has invaded much of the common lexicon, namely that hell is a bad place. And there certainly isn't a long tradition of this precise same wry subversion occurring throughout history in such great minds as- as mentioned in this very thread- Mark Twain.
No, we're actually being totally serious here, because we believe in hell. That's what's happening. You caught us.
