Scariest theological moment of 2012

My scariest theological moment of 2012 was just the other day when at a children’s birthday party of all places, a couple of guys and I were discussing the nature of hell. I ended up defending annihilationism against the eternal torment views of… my dentist! There’s something profoundly disturbing about discussing the prospect of unyielding, all-encompassing, everlasting pain with the guy who gave you a root canal a couple of months ago. Somehow, I’m not looking forward to my next appointment (which I should book soon, come to think of it)!
