  • The people of Dún Laoghaire give their thoughts on the existence of the devil and hell.
    People on the streets of Dún Laoghaire in Dublin are not entirely convinced the Devil exists or by the concept of Hell.
    One woman interviewed does not really believe in the Devil and only believes there is a Heaven. Another woman believes in the Devil but
    I don’t believe he’s got a big long tail and a big stick, but I’d say there is something there you know, there is a Hell.
    A group of schoolchildren are very clear there is a Devil who lives in Hell. They believe people go to purgatory before their soul goes to Heaven.
    Two women believe people go to Hell if they willingly hurt somebody or do something they know to be wrong.
    One man interviewed is believes in the concept of an afterlife, but is does not think Hell exists. Another man had recently discussed the concept of Hell with his father. He decided that Hell did not exist because God is supposed to be all forgiving and therefore could not send people to Hell.
    Another woman has not given much thought to the concept of Hell but adds
    I really believe that life is our hell, you know, and we are living in Hell.
    ‘Where Do We Stand?’ is a five part series examining the challenges of handing on the Christian faith in Ireland. The series is produced by Fr Billy FitzGerald, Head of Religious Programmes at RTÉ. Each episode considers a different aspect of traditional Christian faith; the existence of God, the basis of morality, forgiveness and redemption, prayer and Jesus the risen Christ. During each episode, people on the street give their opinions on traditional Christian principles. ‘Are You Saved?’ is the third programme in the series.
    This episode of ‘Where Do We Stand?’ was broadcast on 1 April 1979. The presenter is Morgan O’Sullivan.

      Aye. Cherish your memories and hope that you never lose them. After over 20 years of strong painkillers my memory is like a sieve and most of my past life is just a blur. Quite often I cannot remember things from one day to the next, and what makes it worse is when you know you cannot remember things. I kinda wish I had kept a journal now.

    The Devil as the embodiment of evil and corruption isn’t an idea I have a problem with. But God’s love is so vast that you basically have to want Hell in order to get there.

    Irish people accepted massive quantities of religious dogma back then. Everyone was either openly Christian or else had taken in the dogma and were parroting it. Most people fell into the second camp, not really religious but when questioned on things like the devil repeating the official line that they learned in school. Note that the boys are much more dogmatic about it as they are still in school but the adults are more sceptical.

    I, personally, don't believe in the "devil" as an entity, seperate, from people. People, alone, can behave worse than anything else that could exist. Some people are worse than any imagining of the "devil" could ever be. Of course, people seem to have come up with the idea themselves. Probably as a way to distance themselves, and thus lay blame on something besides themselves, for their thoughts and behaviors. Funny, the "devil" always operates through people, first or foremost. Makes me realize, it's usually a "people" thing, rather than an outside or "other-related" phenomenon.

Lucifer gets this planet back in the end, and the God of Abraham creates us all an incorruptible one, too far away for the devil to be of any effect. But he doesn't perish. He's not mortal. Jahwey didn't make his angels mortal, and he was one. He was the caretaker angel of the earth before he fell.
