Well, I don't know nuthin' about acropolistic entomology, but I do know that I don't believe there is a hell. I also don't believe in the devil.

Heaven but no hell? Interesting. So what happens to all the dammed souls of the world? Do they get a pass, oblivion?

No heaven, either. Above us, only sky.
