So there we all were, walking along the shore this morning, in 30 deg heat (sorry for the snow my fellow Brits), and gentle breeze, everyone relaxed and happy when a husband and wife team set up stall and telling us all about how we are going to die twice and end up in eternal torment. Why?????

Wait a minute -- die twice?  Is this some new twist to the nuttery?

It's straight from the Bible, albeit the batshit crazy part of the New Testament:

QuoteThen I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:11-15
"Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration — courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and above all, love of the truth."
— H. L. Mencken

Nutter stuff in the good book is not to be taken as literal truth....no matter what the Southern Baptists and  Pentecostals claim.

This isn't true -- they'll make me go "ooohhhh, pretty" when I look up at them.
