A good example of how long eternity was told to me by our parish priest in a daily sermon back in Catholic elementary school.
“Imagine the time it takes a dove to fly around the world. Now imagine one drop of dew falling from the beak of that dove each year it passes the highest peak in the world. Eternity is longer than it would take to have the peak of that mountain eroded into a flat surface.”
Now imagine you being 7 or 8 years old and being told that if you are bad you will BURN IN HELL FOR AN ETERNITY.
Talk about childhood trauma….
Good lord.
