20. thank you this was my 1st thought..

..if this was true then hell is falsifiable. either all these dead people exist *physically* somewhere in spacetime, or they don't. period. there's no room for other ways of thinking about that neat little loophole. if they do exist somewhere, then where? if it's not on this planet, then how do the dead people get there? one cannot *get* one's body back.. god or no god, that's just not going on anywhere in this universe, and it's not on the table for discussion afaic.

if hell is going on in this universe, then truly the onus is on believers in hell to *prove it*, or accept culpability for the negativity that this evil concept has rained down on humanity for far too long. it is no comfort to me to think of hitler in hell..

..sweet oblivion is heaven or hell, depending on whether or not you're good with your SELF.
