There is nothing free about hell; no one wants to be there!

I agree. The idea that someone has to go to Hell to have a free will is mind boggling to me.

BTW, I was not being serious about the partial free will thing.

I think it's on the Great Divorce (but I know it's somewhere) that Lewis says that in the end there will be two groups of people: those who said to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God said, "Your will be done."

I know people who would rather be miserable and have their own way than be happy and not be in control. SO I can extrapolate that to people who would rather the misery of having their own way eternally than the joy of handing themselves over to God.
