“Nor is heaven as is alleged.
Nor is hell as is asserted…”

Scaring off the Loch Ness Monster is quite an achievement, but my favourite St Columba story is the one where he buries St Oran alive, twice

'Contention and controversy awoke between Columba and Oran about the merits of heaven and the demerits of hell, the happiness of the good and the unhappiness of the bad. Oran said that he would put the matter to the test in the place whereon they stood, and that he would go for the space of three days and three nights down to the grave (hell). Digging implements were procured, and a grave was dug as deep down as Oran was high up. Oran went down into the grave, and the earth was filled over him.

'At the end of the three days and the three nights Columba […]said that it would be seemly to look upon Oran, and he was looked upon accordingly.

'On the opening of the eyes to him Oran said:—

"Nor is heaven as is alleged.
Nor is hell as is asserted.
Nor is the good eternally happy.
Nor is the bad eternally unhappy."

When Columba heard the words and language of Oran, he called:—

"Earth! earth on the eye of Oran,
Before he wakes more controversy.
Lest scandal should be given to the faith.
Lest offence should be given to his brethren."

The earth was again placed upon Oran, and he was buried permanently.
