All who doubted or denied would be lost. To live a moral and
honest life — to keep your contracts, to take care of wife and
child — to make a happy home — to be a good citizen, a patriot,
a just and thoughtful man, was simply a respectable way of going to
hell.
God did not reward men for being honest, generous and brave,
but for the act of faith. Without faith, all the so-called virtues
were sins. And the men who practiced these virtues, without faith,
deserved to suffer eternal pain.
Robert Ingersoll
