Did The Earth Move For You?

There must be some restlessness among the natives. The Islamic cleric in the article seems to be trying to quell the waters of discontent or perhaps address growing skepticism among once blindly faithful followers by issuing this new theory on hell. Some smart Ahmed may have posed the question of why the West isn’t under constant earthquakes if their promiscuity and sinning ways are so vile. The answer offered is that there are deeper pits of hell for the really bad sinners. If the threat of going to that permanently warm spot wasn’t scary enough, now we learn that there may be levels of hell!
As is the case with all wars from the beginning of time, they are fought by young boys being sent to their deaths by old men. If the vision of the afterlife that is portrayed by the clerics is so wonderful why aren’t they already up there going through their inventory of virgins? Or are they content to suffer mortal life while the younger, dumber guys go on to permanent bliss?
The notion that there may be different levels of hell for the sinning Westerners is supposed to be a comforting thought for the jihadists. Heck, not only for them but also if you happen to be a sinning Westerner. According to the cleric, there are levels of hell, like an inverse condominium. The mild sinners occupy the top levels but the elevator buttons would show descending floors in a panel with increasingly negative numbers. If promiscuity itself is something to be banished to hell for, you’d have a fair number of people up at the top floors. Some moderately promiscuous sinners such as basketball athletes and porn stars would occupy the middle levels. At the very very deepest levels, your only neighbours would be Warren Beatty, Wilt Chamberlain and Hugh Hefner. It would be 3 day’s travel in the elevator to get that deep.
If promiscuity brought on earthquakes and natural disasters, the only solid land mass left on the earth would be Antarctica, unless you count the indiscretions of penguins. It’s all fine to threaten eternal damnation, fire, brimstone etc, to keep the rabble in line and in fact perhaps even desirable in the mortal world. If people didn’t believe there were special places in hell for the truly heinous among us, it would be difficult to have faith in anything. For the information of the cleric however, there already is an hell on earth for promiscuous sinners. It’s called herpes.
