AHEAVENISTS  

AND  AHELLISTS 

There are some who don’t believe in a

heaven or hell - an afterwards - becoming

atheists-  throwing out God - to boot.

There are some who don’t know

they believe in a heaven or hell -

here and now - in their inner circus.

There are some, you can follow them -

and you’ll hear them say, “The hell

with you!” - or “Go to hell - you ____.”

There are some, you can watch them.

They want Paradise - Heaven - Love -

here and now  - in their inner circle.

There are some - who learn, who change -

who convert - moving from hell to heaven -

and some who give up and go to hell.

I made up two new words for this reflection:
ahellists and aheavenists.  We all know the word
atheists.  All three words begin with the
so called, "Privative Alpha".  Alpha is the first
letter in the Greek alphabet.
Alpha-Privative words are words that have
the prefix "a" before a consonant and "an"
before a vowel. Notice the word privative.
The privative-alpha takes away from the
rest of the word. Some examples:
agnostic, without knowing. We are
unable to have knowledge of God.

Abyss - means without a bottom.

Anorexia - without the desire for food.

Amorphous - without a form.
