“What about Fraulein Fritzl in Austria? Whose father kept her in a dungeon where she didn’t see daylight for 24 years… and came down most nights to rape and sodomize her, often in front of the children who were the product of the previous attacks and offenses….imagine how she must have begged. Imagine how she must have pleaded. Imagine for how long. Imagine how she must have prayed every day, how she must have beseeched heaven. Imagine for 24 hours and no answer at all, nothing. Nothing! Imagine how those children must have felt. Now you say it’s all right that she went through that because she’ll get a better deal in another life? I have to ask you if you can be morally or ethically serious and postulate such a question. No, that had to happen and Heaven did watch it with indifference because it knows that score will later on be settled, so it’s well worth her going through it, she’ll have a better time next time. I don’t see how you can look anyone—ANYONE—in the face or live with yourself and say anything so hideously, wickedly immoral as that, or even imply it.”

Christopher Hitchens (via amitheonlysaneone)
