OK then....explain this:

I'm always puzzled by this 'hell' and 'paradise' thing.

Mankind is not polarised into very good and very bad.  The middle of the road
people, the majority of us humans, meet somewhere in the middle with the state
of
goodness and badness going right across the spectrum - so the idea of going to
hell or paradise is really nonsense, as it means that whoever is on the wrong
side
of the dividing line that is drawn between the good and the bad - one fella or
lady goes to hell and burns for eternity and the lucky chap, just on the other
side of the line, goes to paradise and sits on the right hand of an old deity -
does
it not all become very very silly?

I hope you will not counter this with a quote from a religious book - the facts
can not be altered - a line has to be drawn where the good and bad divide, even
a
god has to draw one.  It's called Common Sense
