All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation. W H Auden, A Certain World, 1970
For my part, I find even eternal damnation less incredible, certainly less ridiculous, than this lame and impotent conclusion which we are asked to admire as the supreme effort of Omnipotence. Bertrand Russell
