Christianity in fewer words. God made us in love and gave us everything that could possibly make us healthy and happy. We gave Him the finger. Justice required punishment if not utter anihiliation but Love took that punishment in our stead and the Maker of the world humbly suffered in our stead. All that is required of us is to believe. Many choose not to --  and instead God says to us, *Thy* will be done and we get what we wish: Separation from God separation from the source of goodness and love. The door to Hell is locked from the inside, friends. We are not sent there, we choose it.
