John Updike
“I never heard enough damnation from your pulpit. Many mornings I had to strain to take hold of what you were saying, Reverend. I couldn't figure it out, and got dizzy listening, the way you were dodging here and there. A lot of talk about compassion for the less fortunate, I remember that. Never a healthy sign, to my way of thinking, too much fuss and feathers about the poor. They're with us always, the Lord Himself said. Wait till the next go-around, if the poor feel so sorry for themselves on this. The first shall be last. Take away damnation, in my opinion, a man might as well be an atheist. A God that can't damn a body to an eternal Hell can't lift a body up out of the grave either.”
John Updike, In the Beauty of the Lilies

Ludvig Holberg
“Da den arvelige Synd blev forklaret for nogle, sagde de: Hvi lod GUD ikke Adam og Eva strax omkomme og skabte andre Mennesker i deres Sted, som kunde have forplantet reene Børn og Efterkommere? Videre, da dem blev sagt, at Dievelen forfører Mennesker til at overtræde GUds Bud, hvi GUd da ikke dræber eller indspærrer ham og derved befrier Menneskene fra Fristelser, som styrte dem udi evig U-lykke? Videre, naar dem siges, at de, som ikke kiende GUd og troe paa ham, blive fordømte, svare de, hvi haver da GUd tøvet saa længe med at forkynde os Troen?”
Ludvig Holberg, Epistler

“When devil hands you suicidal thoughts, he just handed you a navigational map to eternal damnation - HELL”

Andrei Codrescu
“If I die and there is a hell, my hell will be a shopping mall. I will trudge down its aisles forever, with only rides on the escalators for relief.”
Andrei Codrescu

“Man is by definition a contingent, not a necessary, being; that is to say, he does not have in himself sufficient reason for existence, and would not exist without God. God should not have created him at all if, to make one human being happy, it were necessary to send hundreds upon hundreds to eternal damnation, and all for inherited faults or a moment's weakness.”
Jose Rizal; translated by Leon Ma. Guerrero
