The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in time of great moral crises maintain their neutrality.

This is mere conjecture as no one knows enough about Hell to say if there are special places of torture reserved for moral neutrality or not.

That means that the Pope during W.W.2 is now burning in Hell because, he knew about the Holocaust and looked the other way.

Yes; it's funny, but I was just thinking along these lines when I answered the last Q, but didn't 'travel' with it.
Really, the answer that is akin to both Q's is that Jesus Himself said:
"I would that thou wert cold or hot; but because thou art lukewarm, I will spew thee out of my mouth!"
In other words, if we are just half-breed 'Christians', or if we just try to remain neutral and fence-sitters most of our lives, God is more displeased with us than if we were fighting the good cause because we believed in its opposite!

I disagree with the quote due to the demand that it calls people into action merely because there is a call for it. Sometimes patience is more valuable than action.

A poet once said ... "it's better to rule in hell than serve in heaven." And I like hot places.

No, one place is just as hot as another, it's all the same in hell oh and by the way, there are no ice cubes in hell.

Yesh...and no. What about the people who cause the moral crisis?

No, I don,t believe there is fire in hell. I believe hell is eternal separation from God which is worse than fire. The Bible likens the eternal separation from God to fire.

That would require believing in hell. I don't.
