A Michigan pastor...

...has created a bit of a controversy in the evangelical world by questioning the existence of heaven and hell:

In a book to be published this month, the pastor, Rob Bell, known for his provocative views and appeal among the young, describes as “misguided and toxic” the dogma that “a select few Christians will spend forever in a peaceful, joyous place called heaven, while the rest of humanity spends forever in torment and punishment in hell with no chance for anything better.”

How about if we all just admit that we have no idea what follows this life and, what's more, we never can and never will?

How about if we all just try to be the best people we can be today? Isn't that all we're really capable of anyway?
