“They didn’t know they were being bad, these soft-eyed girls with their white hands and even whiter throats—little lambs, really, innocent white lambs with their trusting, open faces. They trusted him, and why shouldn’t they? He was there to save them, after all, to make sure their souls went up to heaven, instead of down there, that horrible place his mother kept talking about, where demons ate your flesh and you lived in eternal damnation.

Sam-u-el! Are you listening to me? They’ll tear at your flesh, and you’ll be forever damned—trapped down there in eternal torment! And do you know what the worst thing of all will be? You’ll never get to see Jesus again! You’ll be eternally banished from His presence. Think about it, Samuel. Never to see Jesus again, never to look upon His divine presence!MoreLessRead More Read Less
