   Remember, kids, Jesus intentionally   
   spoke in parables, so that many of   
   those within earshot could not   
   understand. And since he proclaimed   
   himself the only route to salvation,   
   they already were as good as thrown   
   in hell. Forever and ever more. They   
   never knew, will never know that they   
   are in such predicament, by divine   
   design, no less.   
      
   The Stoics, always killjoys, retort that   
   in such situation, the damned can   
   accept their fate, in full, and thereby   
   get saved.   
      
   On both sides, it is just an opinion, an   
   human opinion, but you can choose.   
   Like when you walk into a bar and the   
   bartender tenderly asks you: "What is   
   your poison?" It is free and voluntary.
