"I'm not interested in absolute moral judgments. Just think of what it means to be a good man or a bad one. What, after all, is the measure of difference? The good guy may be 65 per cent good and 35 per cent bad--that's a very good guy. The average decent fellow might be 54 per cent good, 46 per cent bad--and the average mean spirit is the reverse. So say I'm 60 per cent bad and 40 per cent good--for that, must I suffer eternal punishment? "Heaven and Hell make no sense if the majority of humans are a complex mixture of good and evil. There's no reason to receive a reward if you're 57/43--why sit around forever in an elevated version of Club Med? That's almost impossible to contemplate." --
