I live in a very Republican place...total Christian conservative types. One of my close friends and collegue, who is normal otherwise, keeps trying to tell me that I am going to hell as I am a pagan. I tell her, being a Pagan, I do not believe in the concept of hell. So, if I am good, I will get moksham and land up in Vaikuntam/Kailasham. Otherwise I will come back and she can be my friend again. It took her a few times of me repeating the same thing, over a course of 2+ years to realize that I was telling her that she will be re-born too something she obviously does not believe in.
Now she does not talk to me about that subject at all. Well, once she did want me to read the Bible and absorb its essense. I handed her my handy Kandha Shasthi Kavacham in English and asked her to just memorize the first 4 lines ("Thuthipoorku...") in return. She is still friends with me. So, long story short, we are not going to non-existant hell. But eye poking is entirely different thing 😆
