    Well, hell must be pretty great if all the cool people all the scientists and half the engineers go there. With all that free geothermal energy? I bet it’s a paradise by now.

      For me it was the musicians. Wasn’t the key thing that broke me out of the Christian Guilt Cycle, but hearing “the best musicians go to Hell” was a nice, extra wedge.

      Like, really, you think I wanna miss the greatest show that could ever be to go play a fucking harp on some cloud? Fuck that.

        Well they have like… Maybe Bach? He’s pretty good. But about half the stuff attributed to him is actually by his wife, and she’s in hell, so…

          “Listen," said Crowley desperately, “how many musicians do you think your side have got, eh? First grade, I mean.”
          Aziraphale looked taken aback.
          “Well, I should think-” he began.
          “Two,” said Crowley. “Elgar and Liszt. That’s all. We’ve got the rest. Beethoven, Brahms, all the Bachs, Mozart, the lot. Can you imagine eternity with Elgar?”

            Some shit I heard like fifteen years ago, but apparently he wasn’t even being a dick? People just went through and found originals of stuff attributed to him,and its got her name on it; which isn’t strange, I guess she was also a pretty well known musician at the time.

            The archive erased a bitch.
