I Can't Believe in a God Who Sends People to Hell

Crystal: I think he was right to put this chapter of hell after he established some foundation because several things he's talked about before helps respond to people who say, I can't believe in a God who sends people to hell. And that goes to what that great line you just quoted, Jerry, that everyone that hell is locked from the inside and people who are in hell choose to be there. So also our images of hell, whether it's burning fire or as in Dante, frozen ice, those are just metaphors. The important thing is that this is separation from God and people choose it. He does not give it to them in retribution.
