Sample Question:

Heaven : Hell = Bali : ______.
   a. Hawaii. b. Cancun. c. Texas. d. Bermuda.

Explanation:

Obviously, "c. Texas" seems to the "right" answer. But George W. Bush along with the entire population of such outposts of "civilization" as Dallas would disagree. No doubt many of those persons have visited the places listed as other answers and have come away less than impressed, perhaps telling tales back home of the paganistic, hedonistic natives encountered there. Naturally they will choose one of those places as their "correct" answer. Does this mean that they are "higher" or "lower" on the reincarnation scale? That, as younger Seraphim are fond of saying, is for us to know and for you to find out over the eons as you inch your way upward. In other words, what YOU think is a "right" answer is not necessarily what WE think is a right answer.
