When one of Ludwig Wittgenstein's graduate students allowed how much he regretted the Church's

condemnation of Origen's doctrine that God would eventually abolish hell and redeem the whole world
(including the devils), the philosopher shot back: "Of course it was rejected. It would make nonsense of
everything else. If what we do now is to make no difference in the end, then all the seriousness of life is
done away with."
