Overheard in Madison: Hell Is...

Bits of a conversation I overheard in town today.

Note that all use of the word "you" was implied not to mean the listener, but a generic, indiscriminate person.

Teen to Adult: "But the thing with me is, I don't believe in God. I don't believe you're going to heaven or hell. I believe your belief is a choice. And if you believe in God, I respect that. . . . I believe there's a heaven, a hell and a purgatory. And hell is where you live in your nightmares, and purgatory is neutral."

The teen never did give an idea of what heaven might be. I think this is a theology in progress.
