Short description: Eternal punishment of the damned in Hell would entertain the saved
The term "abominable fancy" was first used by Frederic Farrar for the long-standing Christian idea that the eternal punishment of the damned in Hell would entertain the saved.[1] According to Philip C. Almond, this view was held by several early Christian philosophers, including Augustine, Tertullian, Thomas Aquinas and Peter Lombard.[2][3]
