[Goanet] Revelation of Hell

2009-07-13 Thread Roland Francis
Whenever I express the view that I am skeptical of the existence of
Hell and the Revelations chapter of the Bible, I will have some
zealous Goan-Christian friend give me an audio or video link of
someone who says he or she has been shown hell in person by virtue of
some extraordinary event.

They will tell of their short tour of hell in graphic detail. The
problem is, those to whom it is revealed are all Americans and well
dressed at that, as if as if God has chosen well-off and well-groomed
Americans only, for this special favor.

See one example:
http://spiritlessons.com:80/Mary_K_Baxter_A_Divine_Revelation_of_Hell.htm

Perhaps if we could convince the Jihadis of this fire and brimstone
version rather than the one with 72 virgins (yes, I have heard the
joke about paradise running out of virgins because of so many suicide
bombers), we may have made the world a better place and America a
safer country with infinitely lesser cost.

I will remain content with the Dantean version of lovely Lucofer's domain...
