SAG: Like millions of Holy Roman Catholics, you evidently did not read one of the last encyclicals of Pope John Paul, where I (as a long-ago renounced Catholic) was shocked to read what The Infallible One had declared, stating that Hell no longer exists! Finally, after all those centuries of The Holy Roman Catholic Church drilling into and terrorizing the heads of innocent babes and little children who were warned of eternally being roasted over an open fire, with the Devil as Head Chef, it was all just a dream, a bad theological concept. (But again, ask a Catholic if he still thinks hell exists.)
Sagacious, not my favorite N.I.N. but it's up there.
As a youth I read somewhere that hell (or even purgatory) was to be in the absence of God and wondered if being here on earth was indeed some type of punishment because surely my idea of God would not allow such suffering (especially of children). It took me years to overcome religion but thankfully I've found peace with my understanding of God.
LOL Dhani, it's not something you are a "nitwit" for not knowing.
It's a music group led by Trent Reznor (one of my favorites actually) but often harsh subject matter dealing with the failures of being human (especially as an addict) and a lack of attention on Gods part and questioning Gods existence.
Johnny Cash did an excellent rendition of a song called Hurt and made it more digestible for the masses.
One of my favorites was Happiness in Slavery but it will only sound like noise to someone not a fan.
Mid fifties, married thirty years. My husband has sweetly asked me to try to outlive him, because he doesn't want to face life alone.
His odds are pretty good. Both our mothers (still living!) outlived our fathers. And our grandmothers...
