Not so. Anyone can say anything they like. Observe:

Point being... a person can say anything they like, even if it is wrong. Further... (using your example that a person cannot say a thing does not exist from firsthand experience) why are we assuming that they haven't "experienced firsthand every possible spiritual abode and not found hell among them" in the first place? Any claim that they cannot make that claim truthfully is subject to the questioning of accuracy behind the claim. A persons' knowledge of "Hell" may be an entirely individual construct, that by chance is exactly the same as the "Hell" we are imagining in this instance.
I agree with you overall, in that I understand the point you were trying to make... one might hope that you already know everything outlined in this post
Did you have that picture already?
If not, you put in way more effort than I ever would for a single post.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
