We percieve that the structure and the order of the Universe is sustained by the will and the presence of the Creator. We know that Hell is the one place where God is not. Thus we understand: Hell is not some specially designed eternal torture chamber for the execution of Divine sadism. It is simply what happens to the Universe when God withdraws Himself.... and those who go there do so because they desired to be away from His presence.

I am of the conviction that most people believe in God only so that they can have someone to blame.
