NOTE to all TTers: I had attempted to post several responses that were
rejected. Most of them were about the previous situation, which is now
less than pertinent, so there is no point in posting them. However, a
couple of them may be of interest.
DAVEH: As far as I've been able to discern, every instance that hell is
referred to in the Bible, it is in a figurative sense.....using the
burning trash dump as the only (with the exception of worms eating the
innards, and excruciating thirst) literal imagery to which the folks back
then could relate.

Actually, if we take it literal, can we not argue that hell is a
burning trash dump somewhere outside Jerusalem? jd
