Quote:although there are some passages which have been traditionally (and wrongly) interpreted as implying eternal conscious torment.
Really. According to whom? Eternal torment remains Catholic doctrine. This is reinforced by the view amongst some theologians that "Hell is that place where God is is not" and that separation from God is the worst agony a soul can experience.
This purely academic to me you understand, what with being an atheist and all. I just love way so many believers play no true Scotsman,insisting their personal superstitions are superior to the personal superstitions of others.
