Addendum
When Hamlet says "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy," could we also take it to mean that more things qualify as heavenly and earthly (rather than infernal) than we might expect? Not that Hamlet's exactly a source of divine truth, but a point worth pondering. Or so it seems to my sleep-fogged brain.

I never said any such thing!
Look, if you ripped your screen name off of the literary character whom I quoted, that's not my problem. :P Am tempted to distribute your full screen name at large in revenge...
Speculating what you define as heaven and hell is something done by quite a few. As I'm no expert on the bible I cannot say word by word what it says about this. The notion of hell as a sea of flame with deamons, etc. was introduced by the church during the dark ages i seem to rememeber. Does anyone know the details of this?
