Now, seriously, if this Creator exists and he is just as the_doc describes him, I can't imagine that someone would choose to spend eternity in his presence. If I had a choice I'd go to the Gulag voluntarily.

I'm not worried about meeting the Creator. I'm looking forward to it. What really scares me is finding myself in a heaven filled with people like the_doc. But it can't happen. If that's really heaven, I certainly won't get there. It sounds more like my idea of hell. And if the_doc is down there, I won't be. So it's a win-win situation.

Aye, what's heaven for one may be hell for an other and vice versa.
However, the ultimate hell for me is if one is doomed to exist forever and it doesn't matter whether this eternal existence takes place in an environment like traditional heaven or hell. Or just like H. L. Mencken said: No show, however good, could conceivably be good forever...

Oh, and in my previous post make that "Gulag" = "hell". Just had too much Stalin today :(
