Yes. This.
Many years ago, working in South-East Asia, I had a conversation with a Thai colleague.
Him: Do you know much about Christianity?
Me: Not much. But it’s the background to my culture, so I’ve absorbed a bit that way. What do you want to know?
Him: Is it true that Christians believe that if you’re bad, after you die you’ll go to a bad place and … just stay there? And if you’re good, you’ll go to a good place and … just stay there?
Me: That’s about right.
Him: That’s just weird.
After he asked that question, I started noticing the idea as the backbone of a lot of the thinking around me. I felt like a fish who’d been asked about water, and began noticing water for a change. “Huh. Now that you mention it…”
