How does human life of this kind differ from life in hell?\u00a0 Hell is often supposed to be an after-death state created by God in which people are eternally tortured for finite offences.\u00a0 But this doctrine is merely one more example of the depravity of the human mind that thought it up.\u00a0 Man alone is responsible for hell, and much as he would like to pursue his cruelties beyond the grave, he is blocked from doing so.\u00a0 God\u2019s interest in this hell is confined to \u201charrowing\u201d or redeeming those who are in it.\u00a0 At the same time there are honesty, love, neighbourliness, generosity, and the creative powers in the arts and sciences.\u00a0 Human life appears to be a mingling of two ultimate realities, which we call heaven and hell.\u00a0 Hell is the world created by man, and heaven, or at least the way to it, is the world created through man by God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Frye, <em>The Double Vision<\/em> (CW 4, 230)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;A glance at the human situation around us reveals war, famine, arbitrary acts of injustice and exploitation, violence, crime, collapse of moral standards, and so on almost indefinitely.\u00a0 Even in prosperous countries a spiritual barrenness produces innumerable acts of ferocity and despair .
