....in a handbasket

I'm always amazed at the number of people who seem absolutely certain that they know who is going to hell - and absolutely flabbergasted at the subset of those people who put me on the list.
It takes a special kind of arrogance to presume so much, it seems to me, especially in light of Jesus' great declaration that there will be surprises there at the end of time among those who thought they didn't stand a snowball's chance of getting into heaven given the red carpet treatment and those who already had the draperies picked out for their pearly gates condo getting the old heave-ho by the heavenly equivalent of the bouncers at a night club.
I'll be praying for you and trying to put a good word in for you....

And who, pray tell, has said that they are certain that someone else is going to hell? I certainly haven't seen the likes of such a claim on this blog site.

Stop trying to divert attention away legitimate criticism of yourself and your writing, Riley. No one here has relegated you to eternal damnation -- or, I might add, even remotely wished it so. A victim you most certainly are not.
