Besides Him they worship on nothing but idols and they call on nothing — Hell

"The gates that now Stood open wide, belching outrageous flame Far into Chaos, since the fiend passd through."

"When the final taps is sounded and we lay aside lifes cares, And we do the last and glories parade, on Heavens shining stairs, And the angels bid us welcome and the harps begin to play, We can draw a million canteen checks and spend them in a day, It is then well hear St. Peter tell us loudly with a yell, "Take a front seat you soldier men, youve done your hitch in Hell."

"[S]he asked if I believed in hell. At first I said no. Then I said, "Honestly, I think its possible. Though I dont think you get sent there. I dont think God would have to send people there. I think they would go there by themselves."She asked, "Why do you think that?"I said, "Look at how people act. They walk right into horrible things all the time. They actually go out of their way."

"It makes man an eternal victim and God an eternal fiend. It is the one infinite horror. Every church in which it is taught is a public curse. Every preacher who teaches it is an enemy of mankind. Below this Christian dogma, savagery can not go. It is the infinite of malice, hatred and revenge. Nothing could add to the horror of Hell, except the presence of its creator, God. While I have life, as long as I draw breath, I shall deny with all my strength, and hate with every drop of my blood, this infinite lie.Nothing gives me greater joy than to know that this belief in eternal pain is growing weaker every day—that thousands of ministers are ashamed of it. It gives me joy to know that Christians are becoming merciful, so merciful that the fires of Hell are burning low—flickering, choked with ashes, destined in a few years to die out forever."

"The notions of hell and purgatory, of paradise and resurrections are all caricatured, distorted echoes of the primeval one Truth, taught humanity in the infancy of its races by every First Messenger—the Planetary Spirit mentioned on the reverse of page the third—and whose remembrance lingered in the memory of man, as Elu of the Chaldees, Osiris the Egyptian, Vishnu, the first Buddahs and so on. The lower world of effects is the sphere of such distorted thoughts; of the most sensual conceptions, and pictures; of anthropomorphic deities, the out-creations of their creators, the sensual human minds of people who have never out-grown their brutehood on earth. p. 48"

"It is reported that Mark Twain, on being asked what he thought of heaven and hell, replied, Im not going to tell you ---- for I have friends in both places. I could go him one better, for I have had experiences in both places; or rather, experiences in both such levels of consciousness."
