This title is a clever play on words. maybe not so clever. Anyway, my wife has friend who is a Thai Christian woman and has convinced my wife and her mother to convert to Christianity. This is considered amazing,as they were the most Buddhist people I know here and this is a Buddhist country. Now my wife is asking me questions about Bible and Christianity which I cannot answer, so I have been reading Bible and other Christian books.
I just finished this book called The Last Word and the Word After That, by Brian McLaren, who is allegedly a famous preacher. This book is also allegedly about hell. Basically does it exist or not. After reading this book, I still have no clue and neither does the guy who wrote the book. It is written, for some reason, in the form of a fictional story about a preacher who gets fired from church because he is obsessed about hell and cannot agree with the official position of the church he works for, which is that bad people go to hell.
Then he goes about looking in the bible, and everywhere else, for anything ever written about hell. There are a bunch of other annoying characters. There is a black guy(see I wrote that in small letters) named Neo who apparently knows everything there is to know about God and hell and the universe, and another black guy even smarter than he. Plus some gay people thrown in so the writer can preach about that.
I think basically McLaren is worried about going to hell, and so is real anxious to convince himself hell is bogus.
I did not learn anything in this book except that black people are all geniuses and white people are morons, unless they are gay. And before anyone calls me racist about this, read this book and then see for your self.
Actually, I did learn that there is a hell, and basically it consists of reading this book.
Also, according to the internet, the author gives quotations of sources of things which they never actually said. Maybe he is a member of this forum.
