This really gave me cause to stop and think.

I can't take credit for finding this on my own - it actually has been commented on at two other blogs I read. Both Fr. Tim Finigan and The Anchoress have talked about the below clip, and after I watched it I realized I was sort of stopped in my tracks....

“How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible, and not tell them that?”

Regardless of what you believe (or don't believe), he's right. And it is something to think about. I know I will be....
