        Why?  The hellworlds are worse than this one.  The heavens   
   lack perfection and their occupants are liable to find   
   themselves here again.  The object of the game is to escape the   
   game, not to reach the next level.

        O.k., fine.  No need to twist the scriptures into agreeing   
   with you where they read differently.  Do what you feel is   
   best and let them say what they will without forcing them to go   
   along with you.
