Heaven Revised - A Narrative of Personal Experiences After the Change Called Death #269917

Old theology has created for the belief Of its adherents a future Of its own: a heaven of harps and crowns, idleness, palm bearing and perpetual psalm-singing, to enjoy which even the most devout Christian understands that his nature must be wholly changed; and a hell Of physical torture to which the majority Of mankind are condemned to infinite punishment for finite transgressions. It is a picture Of the future, wearying on the one hand and appalling on the other — the paradise Of a fool, the pandemonium Of a demon.
