Hell? No / 4-26-11

A guy trying be deep wrote this recently:

"Is Gandhi in hell?"

The writer's so cute. He thinks he's asking a question. Really, it's just too adorable to pass up.

Just because you put the pretty little squiggly line with the teeny tiny dot at the end of your sentence doesn't mean you're posing a legitimate query. In this case, the writer has crushed any question contained within his words, by instead making at least four bold statements.

"Is"
Statement: Hell may be defined as a place where things, beings, spirits, SOMETHING, exists.

"Gandhi"
Statement: The brain/cells/consciousness/mind/personality that made Gandhi Gandhi live on, despite the destruction of that being's first two components. Put another way, what is left of Gandhi, post-death, can still be defined as Gandhi.

"In"
Statement: Hell has a physical location. A person/soul/spirit can occupy it.

"Hell"
Statement: Hell exists.

So go ahead, put your nifty little question mark at the end of your short little sentence. But you're not fooling me.

I reject all four statements contained within your so-called question. Go find someone else to ask your pretend stuff to.
