Debate Over Bell's Book Continues:

It hasn't gone away yet. Again, I mean no disrespect to my conservative evangelical friends, but I seriously doubt anyone in their heart of hearts believes in traditional notions of Hell as something eternal. Annihilation? Maybe. A doors locked from the inside place where Christopher Hitchens gets to drink, smoke, fornicate and blaspheme separate from God for all eternity (while you get the perfect happiness in God's presence). Again, maybe. But eternal agony? No. And I doubt deep down inside you believe this.
