No, works of fiction written in a way that pretends they are truthful does not make them history. But real accounts of real peoples that thought there was some sort of underworld are not fiction. They really do have beliefs along those lines. The bible really talks of real spirits under there as well. Why settle for a similitude of truth, when we can look at the genuine article?They were all presented as History -- as was The Scarlet Letter, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and The Catcher in the Rye. Therefore, by your own what-we-shall-ironically-refer-to-as-"logic," you must believe they are all true.

I'll decide what is fiction to me, thanks.So The Odyssey, The Aeneid, and Dante's Inferno are not fiction to you, since they were presented as real accounts, and written by people who did think there was an underworld.
No, men landed there. Men that were smitten with a spiritual impact that reverberated through the rest of their lives. The message sent back was not one of cheese, but of a resounding confirmation God created.The Moon is made out of Blue Cheese.

Of course I will decide. People of a sound mind, and free spirit do that sort of thing you know. I mean, what, I should get my opinions from backsliders by osmosis or something?No, you won't decide.''.
