FIRE! What fire? I knew there were bells, but fire? This comes as quite a revelation, as my knowledge of Hell is from reading Perry Mason novels, when I was a teen: " 'Hell's bells!' said Mason, crumpling the photo-copy." I'm pretty sure Erle Stanley Gardner got it right on this, because one of the few times I ever felt like I was in Hell, was when one of my high school classmates recited Poe's poem "The Bells" one hot May afternoon in 1968. The experience drove me to Agnosticism, which is somewhere north of Lynchburg. Ah! Those bells, bells, bells......

"Billions of lost forever souls screaming in the lake of fire": Are they referring to real estate developers?
"...and other poems as well." I'd like to see those too.
