Thanks for the detailed response and Wiki article. I could have used that when I was 19!

Another question regarding your particular belief -- more of a claification: Christians are resurrected to live eternally in a world cleansed of suffering, but non-Christians are deleted from existence? Therefore, they're not doomed to eternal suffering; they just no longer exist in any form, neither body, spirit nor dormancy?
