"Go to Hell!"

 

"Welcome. This way to Hell,"

I got a comment, on my last post, from Rob, and he wrote something in French.

We wrote, "Menthe poivrée recouverte de carottes râpées."

Actually, Rob doesn't speak French, so he used Google Translate. His message was, "Peppermint topped with grated carrots." Actually, it was the second statement in his comment, written in English, that was more 'interesting'.

"Did you know that most people in hell didn't believe it existed."

That was actually a question, so it should have read, 

"Did you know that most people in hell didn't believe it existed?"

Can you spot the difference?<----------- A question mark.

If Rob's question was correct, he'd have a list of quite a few people who are actually in Hell.

I can promise you that he doesn't.

Okay, he might say that Adolf Hitler is there.

A guess, again.

For all he knows, Adolf might be relaxing in the sun, somewhere near a beach. Okay, it might not be our sun. Anyway, I'm only guessing. Maybe Adolf just doesn't exist anymore?

So, what harm is Rob doing with his remark about people finding that Hell is true because people are finding themselves in it?

Well, I have a grandson who will turn two at the end of this month. I've got to tell you that his pitching of songs is very, very impressive. When he sings 'The Wheels on the Bus' on his own, with no backing, he sings it in D. That's the same key that the song is generally recorded in. Not bad for a two year old. Obviously, I want this little chap to have, as much as is possible, a happy life. Especially while he is young. When his dad was young, they let Christian nutters into his school. Who knows what shit he was told? As an aside, I remember his dad bringing home a poster that read, "God is Levo." I was pleased that he'd got the wrong message. 
I, and his dad, do not want Harrison being told scary stories about places like Hell. Kids have enough to learn and to worry about without this nonsense.

I repeat:
Rob does not know anyone who is in a place called Hell. He can quote scriptures, and all the rest, but HE HAS NO PROOF.

Ciao tutti.

It's good to hear that Harrison is getting the hang of that bus song. He will have to learn to reverse at some time though.

No,no,no "reversing" has negative connotations. We must teach our kids to march forward with a smile singing, heads held high, confident.

"We must teach our kids to march forward with a smile singing, heads held high, confident." How does the song 'heads held high' go?

We march forward,
Looking at the sky.
We march forward,
Heads held high.
Some have stories
They'd like to tell,
Thinking of evil,
Let's invent Hell.
Keep it on the level,
We will need a devil.
A supernatural bod
We will call god.
Some will not believe,
But time will tell.
They will start to grieve
When they awake in hell!
We march forward,
Looking at the sky.
Heads held high
Until it's time to say goodbye.
