The Disappearance of Hell
  • At some point in the nineteen-sixties, Hell
    disappeared. No one could say for certain when
    this happened. First it was there, then it
    wasnt. Different people became aware of the
    disappearance of Hell at different times. Some
    realized that they had been living for years as
    though Hell did not exist, without having
    consciously registered its disappearance. Others
    realized that they had been behaving, out of
    habit, as though Hell were still there, though in
    fact they had ceased to believe in its existence
    long ago...On the whole, the disappearance of
    Hell was a great relief, though it brought new
    problems. (David Lodge, Souls and Bodies)

The Disappearance of Hell
  • Fire, fire! That is the recompense of your
    perversity, you hardened sinners. Fire, fire, the
    fires of hell! Fire in your eyes, fire in your
    mouth, fire in your guts, fire in your throat,
    fire in your nostrils, fire inside and fire
    outside, fire beneath and fire above, fire in
    every part. Ah, miserable folk! You will be like
    rags burning in the middle of this fire. (Quoted
    in Richard Marius, Martin Luther The Christian
    between God and Death)
