I'll not deny the existance of either, but this guy's blatantly scripted tale reeks of religious convictions gone amok. What's even worse is the half-a$$ed attempts at using scientific articles and events to validate his claims.

I KNOW I've witnessed 15-20 volcanic eruptions at Arenal in Costa Rica (it erupts every 45-70 minutes). I certainly didn't hear any souls screaming in torment, though I'll make sure I listen more closely when I head back this November.

I believe in Heaven and Hell; I don't need a wide-eyed, raving God-Nazi full of catch-phrases, quotes and POOR attemts at postulates to get me to believe in either. If I didn't know better, I would have sworn this was another one of EdwardC's Landover Baptist taunts.

To me, hell is more like being seperated from God. I think the imagery used to describe is more of a metaphore so humans can understand.

I'm sure I can find the scripture to support that belief as well.
