2,587,995 Kentuckians are GOING TO HELL? by Erma Thrask

THAT IS FAR TOO SMALL A NUMBER! IN FACT OVER 4 Million are GOING TO HELL (30,552 souls will make it to heaven)

Salutations! Mr. Goliath and I discussed this mornings, "HOME OF THE WEEK" as published in the Courier-Journal. We concluded that this week's entry differed significantly. This actuallylooked like a real home with a real and decent family in it. As a decor 'critic', while I don't entirely approve of some of the color choices I have nothing to say in a 'critical' way.

Thus it is I have decided to use this space for something more near and dear to my heart. As you

know, I am a life long member of the First Baptist Church of Bennetsville. The late Mr. Thrask was the Sunday School Superintendent there and we have been devoted and humble servants of

the church. It was with interest that I saw the article in today's Courier, "Estimate offered on

hellbound Kentuckians" by Peter Smith. He reports that Ross Bauscher has carefully studied the statistics and determined that 2,587,995 Kentucky residents are going to HELL.

This is obviously quite wrong!

Kentucky has a total population of 4,269,245. If Mr. Bauscher were correct, that would suggest that 1,681,250 Kentuckians were going to HEAVEN!! This is patently ridiculous!!! This just

goes to show how LIBERALISM is creeping into everything INCLUDING the Southern Baptists!!! I can easily demonstrate the TRUTH of my statement by looking at the

2008 Election results where you will find that ONLY 953,816 people voted for Mitch McConnell.

That leaves out over 700, 000 of the allegedly "heaven bound" and surely, you are NOT going

to heaven if you did not aid the mission of our lord and saviour by voting against abortion, gun

control, Obama's healthcare plan when you had the chance!!!!

Statistically, 12 % of the poplulation is black or hispanic or 'person of color. Thus we must

reduce the number of 953,816 by 114,457 as it is well established that the Lord was a white

Southern Baptist favoring caucasion. (Just look at the pictures) And of course, I reason thusly, Is Mr. Thrask in heaven? Yes he is. Would heaven be heaven for him if it were populated by

these 'people of color?" No of course not!!!. Thus, we arrive at the truth! This leaves only 839, 359 who could be going to heaven.

I am also sadly aware of the fact that of all church going members, only 14% actually tithe in

accordance with the directions of the Good Book! Since titheing is REQUIRED if a person wishes

to qualify for heaven, we see that 14% of 839,359 is 117,510. Which is, after all a very generous number. God bless you...even if you are going to HELL.

*************************

Postscript: I, Erma Thrask adds this postscript as I felt that the number 117,510 seemed

rather high. Sure enough! I discovered that Southern Baptist make up only 26% of the population in Kentucky (according to the Southern Baptist Convention website). Therefore

it is obvious that ONLY 30,552 good, white, titheing Southern Baptists Kentucky souls will be with our Heavenly father. My apologies to all Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans etc., for whom I may falsely (but only briefly) gotten their hopes up.
