conservative Lutheran church.

Aside from just how big Hell must be, we also questioned the fate of those in parts of the world that had not seen the Word and therefore could not be saved.

We ended up getting fair amount of gibberish about a fair and generous God who would only reserve Hell for those who denied God, not those who had no chance to accept Jesus.

"So, where do they go? If they don't deserve Hell, do they hang with the saved in Heaven, or is there someplace special for them?"

"Mumble, mumble..."

At any rate, we now know that the cosmos is large enough to have a hell big enough for galaxies of evildoers.
