Gone to hell that is if by ...Been there, done that. Gone to hell that is if by Hell you mean standing on the edge of the Lake of Fire. If I could post images here I'd show you the lava-filled crater I stood next to in Hawaii when Mauna Ulu was erupting, one of the vent volcanoes off Kilauea on the Big Island. It was awesome as about 50 yards from the observation platform (which burned up the following day when lava overflowed the crater) erupting as a 50 foot geyser of lava within a small crater lake of lava. There was an accompanying sound each time the geyser went off with regularity, Whoooooophhh!, Whoooomphh, like a giant heart beating. A most memorable experience, right up there with the great white shark that followed our tiny seashell dinghy overloaded with four guys, scary just like your photo before of the guy on the surfboard being followed<br />you posted. And did I tell you about the tornado I had Sparky call upon the Thunder Beings to produce who did so immediately last year back outside of Ogallalah, Nebraska. Oh the life of religious, ah, overachievers, is blessed with miraculous events. <br /><br />Dave, the Christian Hell is based on the Egyptian concept of a Lake of Fire that the soul has to cross with a psychopomp's purification rituals and magic words. Anubis filled that role in for ancient Egyptians and John the Baptist filled it for Christ, the Jordan being symbolic of the River of Life one crosses over to get to the Promised Land.Steve Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731109814328159838noreply@blogger.com
