The French supreme court and criminal court of appeals has what is being termed a "dungeon" attached to it. Prisoners go without food and drink, huddle together for warmth, attack each other and mutilate themselves.
This is not a description from history, but is current.

All God, All the Time
Here is an interesting editorial by someone who doesn't accept Jesus' assertion that if you have seen him (Jesus) you have seen the Father. Yes, God is unknowable for us in a totally comprehensive way, but his Son has revealed to us what we need to know of him.
God is God precisely in escaping and transcending comprehension by human beings. This can seem to mean that God is simply unknowable. If so, humans are better off not bothering about it. Atheism, agnosticism, or childish anthropomorphism -- all the same.
