Alas, it is not within my powers to fire anyone. That is the prerogative of MOD.
Blessings on the MOD !

Even if so, I don't go around greeting people with the name of hell.

I greet people with heaveno.

Dear trap,

If not yours, whose (And please, no "inshallah?" God/Allah doesn't "send" anyone to their eternity; we all choose our own.)

The idea that man chooses his own destiny is deeply offensive to those who hold with predestination.

Of course, like you - and Dr Johnson - I am into the idea of Free Will but we should expect the wrath of the GODLY for daring to express our heretical
thoughts !

For my theological position you may consult "Holy Willie's Prayer" by Scotland's national bard, Robert Burns. I, of course am with Burns and not wilt "Holy Willie".

O Thou, that in the heavens does dwell,
As it pleases best Thysel',
Sends aen to Heaven an' ten to Hell,
For Thy glory,
And no for onie or ill
They've done afore Thee

What was I, or my generation,
That I should get sic exaltation?
I wha deserv'd most just damnation
For broken laws,
Six thousand years 'ere my creation,
Thro' Adam's cause.
