"My vision of hell is to be alone, without God."
Actually, there is an excellent scriptural case for the premise that it's the presence of God that MAKES Hell Hell.
Well...don't keep me in suspense.
Do you have a reference for that?
I recall reading in a near death experience book that when we pass on to the Other Side,we are given a Life Review by God and all the pain we caused others in our lives,WE feel in God's presence and immediately become aware of how our mortal failings not only hurt uS but hurt God as well.
