Richard,
In my opinion, we can make a lot of speculations about the nature of
the divine. But, as humans, we do not have the same capacity to
understand the mystery of creation (or even before it) as the

That raises the question, in my mind, "if you were living in hell,
would you know it?" Or would you rationalize an altrnative more
hopeful view?
