RE: [HOE] Unity Spoilers in Lost Colony

["james wallace" <yelost1@hotmail.com>]

hell of suicides, boy we sure do like to think of hell in a very catholic 
way don't we.  it was my view that there is no hell, the is just the 
deadlands, the rotting roots of the tree of the afterlife, and that is where 
the bad people go when they die cause they don't go to heaven where the 
angels fly.  very donte type view on things Mr.. black.

it was also my conception, but i might be wrong, that the next world applied 
to everyone in deadlands it just took on the appropriate background for the 
persons belief, if it even does that.  no hold on here is the kicker.  in 
many cultures suicide is an acceptable way to end one's own life, so how do 
we know there is a hell of suicides, granted if Mrs.. Hellstrom was in hell 
then she would be somewhere but i doubt there would be a guarantee that she 
would be in the same place twice.  stop thinking with western mindset, not 
that your wrong to do so i do it all the time.  in the case of the afterlife 
im not sure if there is a right belief in the deadlands system.
