Thanks for the wonderful reply and the empathy. "That's terrible that you went through that". Yes I did suffer tremendously and for a long time, but today, three years later, I am in full health and love life. I do not regret the experience as I learned lessons in life that I never would have learned. I feel it made me a better person. I am far more empathic that I ever was and can feel literally the pain of others. In some way that has made life harder but I am glad of it. For to be able to "feel" means you are alive. Those who do not feel things, have hardened their hearts so they do not, are in way already dead. A living dead. A zombie I guess. I cry more at films and not afraid to show my emotions. I have a stronger faith, although it has changed. More solid I would say. But what is amazing is how quickly you forget the pain and move on. Hell can be experienced on earth but not in the after life. I agree with you that the idea that we "forget" our loved ones is horrendous. It seems even more cruel than being tortured. It smells of brainwashing and losing free will. I think for Christianity to survive we must weaken religion but strengthen faith. Cheers!.
