http://www.progressivehistorians.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=2023My old friend, who is an ex-southern Baptist preacher and also who introduced me to Plato's "Cave Allegory" as an undergraduate, told me of his new found philosophy of hell one day by relating a conversation he had with a woman. She was very upset after he asked her a question and answered it for her. His question to her was "Since Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven is within, where is hell?" "The Bible doesn't say that," she objected. He then told her the verse it came from and answered his own question, "Since the Kingdom of Heaven is within, then hell is within." She became angry at him in his story, and we both had a good laugh. He relished in telling the story, while I enjoyed it immensely. It speaks of how fundamentalist Christians ignore or care not to discover the very words their Master spoke when and if those liberating words do not suit them - fundamentalist Christians like John Hagee and his blind flock.
