"One could become suspicious that our fanaticism with hell, either for or against, is mostly a misplaced projection of our unresolved ambivalence about the quandary that we should 'love our enemies' in a world of enmity and often unspeakable evil without condoning it or encouraging a culture of impunity." Very astute observation. Too often, we congratulate ourselves on being "progressive" enough to banish hell when we don't have any grace with people in actual real-life situations. I think that I'll be ready to spend eternity with God when I get to the point where I wouldn't be scandalized to see my enemies there. Not sure I'll ever be ready. Oh well.
