The way I am accumulating "negative" karma sometimes, I'll be bound to this hell forever - yippee!!! I have lots of friends here and heaven is pretty boring alone. I'll go in last. Before then I must play with my toys in paradise. Sign in to see full entry.

Religion - the choice
So, religious people of all the faiths.
