YOU VS HELL!

"Even those who admit that the Bible is pretty clear about the reality of hell sometimes voice their wish that it didn't have to be so. "Well, if I were God, I certainly wouldn't send someone there," I heard one perhaps well-meaning but supremely ignorant believer say.

If eternity would be a better place without hell, God would have made it so. If love and hell can't co-exist, God never would have allowed hell to come into being. When I attack hell, when I call it heartless, or sadistic, or act like I wish it wasn't there, I am blatantly telling God that He blew it; that He should have tried just a little bit harder to make a world where hell wasn't necessary."

An excerpt from Gary Thomas' "Why I'm A Fan Of Hell."
