Rupert Hughes Quote

As for those who protest that I am robbing people of the great comfort and consolation they gain from Christianity, I can only say that Christianity includes hell, eternal torture for the vast majority of humanity, for most of your relatives and friends.... If I could feel that I had robbed anybody of his faith in hell, I should not be ashamed or regretful.
