Let us start with the simple question that ironically most people never bother to ask:

This one is a coward, murderer, thief, dishonorable child, and liar. This is not because he is hiding, robbing, violent,rebellious or decieving. But because he is unwilling to stand for his own understanding and refuses to ponder it even to himself. This one is thus answered for, and the answer for such is, sadly, "I am not alive."

They are the creators and residents of Hell.

II.

This one is an idolater, adulterer, and a covetous, false witness. Not because this one worships vain images, or because they steal spouses, nor is it because they crave what is nit theres.Niether is it because...
