We need more controversy (This is serious stuff!)

Wake up! Time for a truly deep theological-astronomical thought:

Place yourself, for a moment, as a viewer out in space aways and consider:

When asked to point toward where "heaven" is, most people in the northern hemisphere will look and point straight up at the sky.
Similarly, when asked where "hell" is they point down, toward where the southern hemisphere is located.

Now if the same question is asked in the southern hemisphere, most people there will also point straight up to the sky for "heaven", which is the same direction people in the northern hemisphere had pointed to where"hell" is located, and conversely they point down toward the northern hemisphere for the direction for where "hell" is located, which to them is the same direction we had pointed to where "heaven" is.

Conclusion: Most people in the world don't know don't know which way is up when it comes to heaven and hell!

PS-Since this is designed to provoke meaningful, thoughtful, and enlightening dialog (as unlikely as that is) it should pass censure Brian.

Good, deep thoughts, Bob, but I think that only applies if one is standing at the North or South pole! Hell for us is clearly somewhere in China!

If you're going through hell, keep going.
