South of Heaven

The Devil's work is far from done. More than a third of Scotland's clergy still believe in the literal existence of Hell as a place, according to a new survey.

What interested me about this is that only just over a third believe? How does one rationalize non-belief in Hell after reading the Bible? Much of scripture makes no sense, if one assumes it's a fictional place. Take Jesus' parable of Lazarus and the rich man, for example.

UPDATE

Erik pointed out to me that the link was broken. I failed in finding the original story, so I linked a different story that gave the same report. Sorry 'bout that, folks.
