Well, the focus of my question really was whether or not you believed that God programs people to like where they wind up.

whether or not you believed that God programs people to like where they wind up.

All men are fallen and none seeks God unless and until God first regenerates his heart and renews his mind to the truth of Christ risen.

Obviously, since most of us believe hell is not uninhabitied, God does not cover every man with Christ's atonement or else all men would be judged innocent of their sins and everyone would end up in heaven.

While on earth, the reprobate loves his sin.

"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." -- John 3:19-20

After he's dead, I doubt he's very happy.

"Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?" -- Malachi 2:17
