“People converted by fear-mongering are people converted from evil, not to the truth.” “Heaven is populated entirely by forgiven sinners, not by spiritual and moral aces” “It cannot be said too often that in the New Testament, the opposite of sin is not virtue, it is faith.” “The reason for not going out and sinning all you like is the same as the reason for not going out and putting your nose in a slicing machine: it’s dumb, stupid, and no fun.” ― Robert Farrar Capon, Parables of Judgement Which is why apologetics is always such a questionable enterprise. “Jesus obviously does not answer many questions from you or me. Hell is just a courtesy for those who insist they want no part of forgiveness.” “Both heaven and hell are populated entirely and only by forgiven sinners. ― Robert Farrar Capon, Kingdom, Grace, Judgment: Paradox, Outrage, and Vindication in the Parables of Jesus Grace doesn’t sell you can hardly even give it away, because it works only for losers and no one wants to stand in their line.”
