I like this analogy of the concept of eternal hell (not mine):

Suppose for a moment that a wonderful man—Mr. Right, if you will—offers a marriage proposal to the woman he loves. “Marry me,” he says, “and I will give you a life like you’ve never dreamed of before. You will be loved with the greatest commitment and passion that any woman has ever known. I will give you the finest house with all of the wonderful things you’ve ever wanted, and you will be happy for the rest of your days!”


That sounds like it was wrote by some one who has read just enough of the Bible to not even know what it is all about, but did not like the little bit they read.

Not to me. On the surface maybe. But then, attempting to explain something as vast and complicated (and incomprehensible to man) in such a short analogy can be tricky. Different people take away different meaning based on their own interpretation of a myriad of scripture references coupled with their own life experiences.
