Interesting perspective regarding evil, Satan. I don’t hold the canonical image of Hell, but I certainly dread the absence of Christ.

>> I am dead serious here.

No doubt. And I say that in the biblical sense.

Well, it’s genuine as far as I am concerned.

I’ve certainly had the devil dance in my own life, because I had been asking him to do so. It does trace back to the fall, something which the bible documents as willingly participated in by the souls of humanity, though scarce in particulars.

It is excellent to regard the absence of Christ as intolerable because He really is our spiritual source, our supply of all, and the One to whom we yield. The Alpha and the Omega.

Hell, through a combination of experience, scripture, and reason, can be seen to be a very weird place. The human souls there are slaves of Satan, who in turn is tortured in the hell. Not pleasant, but quintessentially captivating; the occupants would refuse God and thus would never enjoy heaven.

Blessings are the positive thing, curses the negative. Hell is a place where blessings are cut off, though not the blessing of bare existence. That seems to be a corollary from God being love. If God really hated hell to the utmost, He would wipe it out of existence, not torment it by granting it to have its wicked way to itself.
