I think Chris wants to send you to Hell , personally, Solon.
Such a friend....
Even if it was all so simple as Chris would like... I wonder what he will feel like when he finds himself swinging in a tree, in his next life, or croaking from up under a lily pad <GG>
You may thank heaven , and God/SIVA that your soul which is that deepest essence within you , is always immortal , and the one part of you that can't be destroyed .
The nice thing about life , in the truer more enlightened religion from the great sages of very ancient times... they saw clearly that just to be born into the human form meant you have already done many great things suffered and grown tremendously & spiritually along the way , to be here now as the Solon we all know and love. (you have already come a long way, baby ...we all have)
The discussion of the nature of the soul is an extremely beautiful one , the Hindu version is exquisite ...if properly explained . It goes far far more beyond anything the Church dares to dream of , but such is the Nature of the true God , they were limited in their theology from the start. (A truer God always full of beautiful surprises)
....it would all just be so neat and simple to believe like Chris does, (even if he thinks he gets to wield the pitchfork) but one short lifetime does not a heaven make...unless one is a very merry old soul !
