Think of it this way, Mike. God isn't the one doing the damning. There are people
who hate the light and love darkness. Even faced with God in His glory, *they
choose* the darkness, because of their stubborn pride and selfishness. I find this
idea of Hell *very* believable-- got it from CS Lewis in The Great Divorce.
