Fishy: real monsters in real battle, with real swords?

Here's something interesting, though not sure I'd call it fishy: he saw his sister that died in the womb. It's interesting because it implies that aborted and miscarried fetuses and embryos will all make it to heaven. And that implies that the vast majority of heaven's residents will be people who never lived and breathed on planet Earth. And I mean vast! There are more souls, by some estimates, in that category than people who have been born, first of all. Secondly, the way is narrow and few will find it, so the count of formerly walking/breathing folks will be that much smaller.

I guess that is a bit fishy, though, come to think of it. Well, most AFFers might not think so, but I think it's odd to have things set up this way. The residents of hell might think they got a bumb deal, having survived in the womb and growing up only to find that they guessed wrong about what religion to follow, or not to follow any. Or never to have heard the "good news" at all. They'd be better of if they'd been aborted.

Bumb? That's from writing while dumb.
