I have actually heard some preachers on the pulpit say that there are those who prefer to live in hell than heaven.
Read this from C.S. Lewis for example:
“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, in the end, “Thy will be done.” All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened. ” (THE GREAT DIVORCE)
This article is one earthly example of that preference.
C.S. Lewis was arguably the most profound of all great Christian writers. He could just as easily have been describing the most lopsided Obama voting cities in the country which are the closest things America has to Hell on earth.
