(Final stanza of an untitled poem from 'In The Clearing', Robert Frost's last published volume)

I perceive that to be a tasty morsel indeed, and timely, in that there would rarely be a wrong time to quote it.

Thanks, again, for 'festina lente' and the incredibly arresting/entertaining story behind your early acquisition of and generosity with it..

Appreciate the advice, but I think I'll just stay right here, safe in the knowledge that neither place exists.

Yeah but what happens when you die though?

It depends what you did with your life. If you die in battle then the valkyries take you to Valhalla, but if you were a liar and an oathbreaker then you'd go to Niflhel with all the other evil people.

You mean hell.

Which hell? There are many dimensions.

daniel, Why do you want to know what happens when I die? In fact I am all agog with indifference about what happens, since I don't expect to know anything about what will be happening at that time. What I do know is that the world will then be minus one unrelenting atheist. If some day you receive a message saying just one word "NOTHING!!!" it will be from me and will answer your question succinctly. You may regard it as the word of experience.

GB, if it was useful to you, then I can think of nobody more welcome than you my friend. 🙂

There's only one hell.

Yeah but it does exist, and you might be in big trouble if you don't change your ways before it's too late!!!

you must understand of course that when the stars are right and the ancient ones return, the followers of cthulhu will be eaten last!

daniel, are you trying to set a new benchmark for illogical talk? If your Hell exists, why do you tell me I "MIGHT" be in big trouble if I don't change my ways before it's too late? Surely if you are right about Hell, then I most assuredly WILL be in deep poo when too late comes and I still have not changed my ways. danny boy, you epitomise my reasons for not wanting to spend eternity with your kind of Christian. Implacably dense and deaf to what people tell you, you are a spiritual rapist wannabe. I almost wish you were right, then I could go to Hell and blame you for not warning me.

No I did warn you, you might be in trouble if you don't, I'm not God, I don't judge people, I'm just saying it's a possibility, that you might not change, no one is deaf in Heaven, then would you rather spend hell with sinners?

don't you think it would make much more sense for others to warn you about worshipping a god who's extorting you to worship it or it'll torture you in a lake of fire for all eternity? I mean, it's hard to come up with more fitting characteristics of pure sadistic evil. even the christian satan falls far from that, as as an angel it doesn't possess free will and is compelled to act as god wishes it.

you're in luck though, as none of that exists, and the worst you're doing is pissing off your only shot at living the one single rather meaningless life (in the cosmic context) you'll ever get before fading off into nothingness.

I'd like to add here once again the funny fact that of the two of us, you're the only one who believes in satan.

That's weird you either believe in angels or you don't.
