Description and pictures of the Venus of Eliseevichi
gollark: I don't consider this clear because it's not distinguished from the *other* religious books which also claim to be ultimate universal truth.
gollark: I don't think this justifies being punished forever, *infinitely*, especially since, as you said, part of it is a product of the environment. Guess which omnipotent god set up that environment?
gollark: No, this is also terrible. They only punish you *after* you do things, with no clear guide about what's acceptable and what isn't.
gollark: I mean, sure, but other people will be eternally tortured.
gollark: I don't think they should be supporting entirely avoidable eternal torture.
