Christ, returning as Eternal Judge in the hallucinogenic book of Revelation, reserves his most terrible sentence for those in the middle:
"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth (Rev 3: 15-16).”
This is an indication of ultimate disgust, manifested toward those who will not commit, who wait, who play both ends against the middle, who will not risk, who will not commit, who wait forever, as their lives tick by, for a certainty that will never make itself manifest. These are the people who are terminally lukewarm, and there is nothing but ultimate danger in that, practical and metaphysical.
