[ExI] Trump

[William Flynn Wallace]

According to this article, hell began with Plato, and was adopted into
Christianity ~2nd century AD.  I don't think hell was mentioned in the old
testament.  Adam A Ford

So it is suggested that they just made it up as they went along, like
marketing tactics?  I could agree with that.  IF looked at as a business,
religion is far and away the most successful business ever.

"A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move
toward higher levels." ("Atomic Education Urged by Albert Einstein", New
York Times, 25 May 1946)

Now this quote is interesting:  just how does one conceive of a new way of
conception?  Or did Einstein follow this up with suggestions?
