Pluto Vs. Hell
'..."Pluto is dead," said Caltech researcher Mike Brown, who spoke with reporters via a teleconference while monitoring the vote. The decision also means a Pluto-sized object that Brown discovered will not be called a planet.
"Pluto is not a planet," Brown said. "There are finally, officially, eight planets in the solar system."
The vote involved just 424 astronomers who remained for the last day of a meeting of the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Already it is being challenged.
"I'm embarassed for astornomy. Less than 5 percent of the world's astronomers voted," said Alan Stern, leader of NASA's New Horizon's mission to Pluto and a scientist at the Southwest Research Institute. "This definition stinks, for technical reasons."...'

As all of your readers of the newspaper,watcher of the news on television,or the kind of person who sits in front of your computer all day long,you mightve already known that Pluto,you know,the planet furthest away from the Sun,is no longer a planet.Shocking,it might be,for those out there recieving this news for the first time.Like myself,when i first read about it at an internet forum.I found it incredibly DUMB,that those bloody scientists are not doing anything more useful than reviewing the status of different planets and denoncing them,stuff like that.I mean,like the above,less than 5% of the world's astronomers voted about this decision.It's like the change of a president of a country with less than 5% of the population voting.It's just...dumbass.
Anyway,this entry is not going to be about Pluto,because im not exactly the kind of person who is capable of going into great length to explain just WHY Pluto is no longer a planet.Somebody probably made that decision,and it's not like my explanation is going to make a difference,whatsoever.This entry,essentially,really is about a little thought that i came up with one day,many many days ago.
Sort of like Pluto,i think Hell is not exactly the kinda place we all imagine it to be.You know,in cartoons or books we already read,or picture it as a place full of magma,boiling hot and licking the heels of your feet as youtr toil with sandbags threw across your shoulders,down endless corridors of burning spikes and raging fire,and demons with horns whipping you at your back,shouting,"Toil!Toil!Toil!"
There are other images of hell,though.I read about it in a book before,called Bart Simpson's Guide to Life.Speaking of which,i think it is still with Bernice.Bloody hell,and it has been with her for like...three years already.Bernice!!!
Anyway,in the book Bart Simpson(Yeah,the one and only),argues with a friend of his between Heaven and Hell.Church bells to rock music.Angels to hot Bikini babes.Holy feasts to junk food.Harps to pitch forks.Angels to demons.Cigars to cigarettes.Coffee to Vodka.Whatever.You get the picture.You dont exactly get punished in Hell,just a different sort of society from Heaven up above,where you continue to sin,probably till you are enlightened one way or another,then you get the ultimate pass to Heaven.
That sort of inspired me,to personally denounce Hell's status to just...well,non-existent.I think Hell,doesnt exist.Basically,simply putting it.Which is a strange thing because i am the kind of person who believes in symmetry in everything,a sort of balance in life.You have Heaven and you have a Hell,naturally,theoretically.But no,what i am saying is that Hell isnt what everybody thinks the sinners go.They dont toil under our feets in raging fire,in not but a piece of cloth around their waist.
Hell,in fact,i think,is right here on Earth.Or rather,Hell IS Earth.
Imagine Hitler at the gates of Heaven when he dies.'Next!',shouted somebody at the counter,next to the gate.There is a vacancy sign up at the side of the gate,with a big "Yes" and a big "No",for admission purposes,of course.At the gate,that guy at the counter reads you your sins,or whatever you did in life.
"You are responsible for the death of 220,000 Sinti and Roma,6 million Jews,500,000 Serbs,200,000 disabled,80,000 to 200,000 Freemasons,100,000 Communists,10,000 to 25,000 Homosexual men,2,500 to 5,000 Jehovah's Witnesses.Enough said."
The neon light for the "No" comes up,and a trap door below his feet opens.He falls through,and everybody would expect him to fall to Hell,right?I mean,where hell can this monster go instead of there?
That is traditionally speaking,of course.But i think Hell doesnt exist at all.Take Dalai Lama for example.You know how some Christians,the extremists,claim that if you do not believe in them,you go to Hell after death,yada yada,all that shit,all that jazz,blah blah blah.Which really is,ridiculous if you ask me.What of Dalai Lama,then.He is OBVIOUSLY not a Christian,so what is he going to go when he dies?Yeah,in Tibet certain practises of burials still exists.That includes,carrying the body up into the mountains.After being,stripped,skinned,sliced,diced,the flesh are fed to the Eagles,or Vultures.One of them,not too sure.Im rather sure that Dalai Lama is not merely going to end up in some animal's stomach,right?
So,my theory is that when a supposed person goes to Hell,he comes back to Earth to be reborn.Hell,in fact,is on Earth.The worse sinners,of course,probably would be born in some screwed up country like Israel,Rwanda or something,with war and stuff everywhere.The not-so-bad sinners,thiefs and stuff,probably becomes everybody else.The normal people,everybody.
Because i figured,that there is nothing worse than life,itself.Life is the ultimate test,you know.That is of course,if Heaven exists.Life really is the test of,whether you are worthy enough to go to Heaven,or not.Do you not be thankful when something good happens to you?Do you not push on when something bad happens to you?Do you not dust yourself off,smile and carry on with the journey ahead?Or do you sin again and again in life,proving yourself unworthy of the gates of Heaven.I think,that by throwing people back to Earth,or Hell,is sort of like the second chance for everybody to prove themselves.We were probably all sinners in our last life,we didnt prove ourselves enough to enter Heaven.So here we are,in hell,in life,trying to gain admission.Besides,it helps with the population control in Heaven,no?
