[Mr. Jeeves]

Jonathan Edwards' Enfield sermon ["Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"] pictured sinners held over the blazing abyss of hell in the hands of a wrathful deity who at any moment was likely to let go, and so terrific was that discourse in its delivery that women fainted and strong men clung in agony to the pillars of the church.

Sounds like a lot of Free Republic religion thread posters, except that in their theology, God turns to ask their opinion first before deciding whether to drop the sinners into the pit. ;)

LOL!!! And some will insist there are those who will tell God to drop them in.
