“To hell with you all, I DO believe”

“Stranger: Do you believe in Jesus, my friend?Foreigner: O yes, I do but who the hell are you?”

“If I do not believe as you believe, it proves that you do not believe as I believe, and that is all that it proves.”

“I do believe in hell as a state of being or consciousness, and I believe that people can dwell in hell and that many do, right now, today, on this earth before rather than after death. I will argue ... that hell is the most erroneous, oudated, misunderstood, and misguided dogma in all of Christianity, and the one that must be discarded if this spiritual tradition is to survive as anything more than a contemptable curiosity.”

“You don't have to believe in Hell. All you need is to hear someone who really does, who believes in it this minute, today, the way people believe in 1685 — all you have to do is see his face, his voice when he says the word... and than you know that anyone who can imagine Hell has the power to make it real for other people.”

“If I owned hell and west Texas, he said, I do believe I'd sell west Texas and live in hell.”
