> I have no strong opinion on Heaven or Hell. Perhaps those states of Bliss and Tamas excist, perhaps not. But if Hell excists I think this Paul Mason fellow is a strong candidate for a prolonged stay in one of those premises. I mean, spreading slander about an outstanding Saint for money ?? It's like a plea for a stay in an unpleasant place. IMO. To be subdued and treated by Tamas for a long period of time at least is a guarantee for not having to deal with this lowlife fellow in our next incarnation.
