I was at breakfast with some friends when I was asked about hell. Not the pizza company that bears the name, but the celestial Dante version.
I told them the story of an Australian friend who in the rarified air of Sydney Anglican thelogical debates had to bite his tongue and quell his urge to either laugh or cry when listening to hellish debates. On one side were the snuff brigade - instant incineration. The snuffers were the 'liberals'. On the other side were the spit roasters - continual torment. They were the 'conservatives'.
My breakfast companions, being well-travelled, also had horror stories to share on religious nonsense. Such stories would be hilarious if only some people didn't believe them and subject others to them.
The conversation concluded with a question to me: "What do you think Glynn about heaven and hell?"
"Well," I replied, "if there is a heaven we are all going to be there. For some it will be paradise and for others it will be hell."
p.s. for those who haven't visited Mr Deity yet - check out their version of hell.
