" By any rational measure, after all, an eternal hell of torment would seem to lie wholly outside any order of the good that is—as the eternal vision of God supposedly must be—wholly sufficient in itself. Moreover, the idea of a punishment that does not serve an ameliorative purpose—as, by definition, eternal punishment cannot—should be a scandal to any sane conscience. Endless torture, never eventuating in the reform or moral improvement of the soul that endures it, is in itself an infinite banality. A lesson that requires an eternity to impart is a lesson that can never be learned. "
