Within a doctrine I do get the concept of purgatory. It would be
something like: if you did not behaviour yourself during class you are going to
miss the break, so you can bethink about what you have done. But the hell’s
concept, well… I don’t.
Look, if Lucifer’s work, the fallen angel, is to recruit people to
stimulating them to perform evil actions, so it can decrease heaven’s attendance
like creating competition, why do this people, once held in hell, would be
punished and tortured for all eternity?
I suspect that the contract policy offered by the devil should promise
things that truly allure the human form in order to sign for it. If so, Lucifer
was supposed to take them in as it happens on those holidays pack deals
including a luxurious resort with gym, a poll with artificial waves, tennis
court, ski and equitation! Something to keeps the customer really happy.
But if Lucifer is going to torture all these people because they have
performed some evil, for whole eternity, it is like he is almost an infiltrator
agent from heaven and hell itself would not be more than a celestial department
of losses! After all, he would be punishing those who did not behave properly,
which is the rule number one to get into heaven!
Ok, we all know people say that the ‘cuckold’ lies through his teeth and
promises what does not exist, fools people and pretends a lot to get some
attention. But would all that be just for the pleasure of smelling burnt flesh?
Hum… I don’t know. I do understand, using antagonism, that ‘evil’ degenerates
and corrodes life in contrast to the ‘good’ that builds up and enriches all
around. If so, I could see his intention on trying to destroy the Lord’s
creation.
But if God is the direct relation to the ‘good’ image and the devil is
to the ‘evil’, one is on disadvantage; the devil once was a high patent angel
from heaven, full of wisdom, so his essence is ‘good’ and not the pure ‘evil’
as the pure ‘good’ is to God. Are you following me? His DNA is divine, from
heaven! So for this reason is very hard to me to believe, and even accepting,
that someone enterprises its own life longing for satisfaction based on
something not present in its own nature.
(Pause for analogy reflection).
But all of this reminded me an old joke: A guy dies and goes to hell. He
is received by the devil himself who takes him for a petit tour.
He surprises himself with the hell facilities. There are people hanging out on
the grass by a lake, playing football, and there’s a huge rave going on
under open sky, I mean, open hell, and everybody ultra-mega-hiper-super happy.
Then, in a corner exhaling a strong smell of sulphur, there were people being
tortured and burnt by flames and so, the man asks to the devil what contrast
was that, to which the devil responds: Don’t bother with them. Those are
Catholics, they love that.
Wish you all a divide week of good behaviour – just in case… ;)
