Mark Shea on Hell
"Wanna bet Aaron doesn't believe in hell? Generally, the reason for that is that people are thinking of hell as some arbitrary punishment 'imposed' like a prison sentence on us for making decision that an arbitrary Authority dislikes. I think hell is simply the fruit of our choices. If I choose to overeat I am not 'punished' with being fat. I am simply getting what I want. If I choose to shut God out of my soul I am not punished with an empty eternity without light and love. I am simply receiving what I wanted since God is light and love."
