The Invention of Hell: An Interview with Death

In 1989 I published a collection of parables entitled The Furniture of Heaven. Now here’s a parable from a new book I’m working on. A man went for a job interview with Death.

Quotes by Mike Mason (?)

“And as Dad said to me, 'You can't always stop people from being mean. But you can stop them from making you mean.”
― Mike Mason, The Blue Umbrella

“And so must learn to love with our mouths and voices, as well as with our eyes, flesh, heart, brains, and with everything we have, right down to our toenails. There is not anything about us that cannot love, and that is not called to love, and that is not destined to be turned, conformed, and reduced to pure love. It ...is the priceless deposit left by the burning away of selfishness.”

“If man really is fashioned, more than anything else, in the image of God, then clearly it follows that there is nothing on earth so near to God as a human being. The conclusion is inescapable, that to be in the presence of even the meanest, lowest, most repulsive specimen of humanity of the world is still to be closer to God than when looking up into a starry sky or at a beautiful sunset. Certainly that is why there is nothing in the new testament about beautiful sunsets.- Mike Mason -Author of "The Mystery of Marriage”
