Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.

everyone who’s the least bit informed already knows there are a lot of varieties of universalism, but do any of them sweep the unwilling or unrepentent into heaven?
