As a non-believer, I'm going to stay away from this except to say that I think "no hell, no dignity” is a derogatory thing to say about one's religion. Do they really think that without the threat of hell no dignity would exist? The same people say humans have no way to know what is good and what is evil without heaven. Because, as we all know, a belief in heaven has done a great job of turning away evil. My closest friend is a devout old-school Quaker. We talk about this and I know he doesn't believe the light inside comes from without.

John, good point about the fiction of hell.
Sounds like Dimes Square is cultivating in the young the tenets of Cathofascism.
On the fiction of hell, my first office mate at UCLA was a Jesuit fresh from service at the Vatican. His book, based on the Vatican’s mammoth library of religious history, concluded that hell didn’t exist and the devil was basically a misprint: A. Kelly, The Devil, Demonology, and Witchcraft.
Yours in Divinity,

I confess (yes confess) I'm guilty of posting this thread without even reading the article. I skimmed it and saw gaudy descriptions of a micro-trend that used James Joyce's Dubliners as a point of reference (???); thought the title was catchy in a NYC kitsch-kind of way, gave a passing thought to the possibility that this was evidence of yet another manifestation of evangelical gangrene, came up with Cathocalypse as a thread title which I though was clever way of saying "Is this the second coming?" — and decided to post it. Poor decision, I confess.
My penitence is seeing this thread drop like a lead balloon.
