but man's capacity for evil against each other is everywhere and seen everyday. my theory (strange i know) is that hell is on earth and we have our own chance to redeem ourselves from it by acts of kindness and decency to and for each other eveyday. where we go after we die or what happens i do not know but we have to make the best of what we have now.

While he uses a few terms which are questionable, I don't think this is really an atheist cbayer Aug 2012 #12
