Have you ever known anyone with Alzheimer's Disease?
Because if you have, you know two things:
1.) The brain is the seat of the self. Damage it, and self disappears. Where? To hell? To heaven? While the person is still alive? Or could it be what it seems and what all research shows: that you are your brain, and when it goes, you go, and that's the end.
2.) Brain-damaging illnesses are hell on Earth. Eternal torment in a fiery pit sounds like pure BS to me, but Alzheimer's scares the shit out of me. You want hell? Visit an Alzheimer's ward.
