You will not like hell.  That is what seems odd about atheists.  They
can seem like rational beings except in one instance.  If you were to
give them a choice between going to Yellowstone national Park or going
to the Winslow, Arizona, city dump, most of them would choose to go to
Yellowstone Park.  But if you give them a choice between heaven and
hell, they all say they do not want to go to heaven.  Some of them
might object to going to hell, but they all choose to not go to
heaven.
