Don't they say that there's sort of a cycle of the universe- it expands as far as it can go, then starts contracting until it becomes a tiny little dense ball that explodes?
And it's been going on forever and will continue on forever?
Something like that.
Purgatory doesn't sound too bad, usually.
It's just full of non-religious people, unbaptised babies and people who picked the wrong religion.
So like... normal people? That's ok.
