"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."
