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 entertains the saved in Heaven.[1] According to Philip C. Almond, this view was held by several Christian philosophers, including Augustine, Tertullian, Thomas Aquinas and Peter Lombard.[2][3]
