Odd when you think about it. Imagine someone being involved in a burn accident in which they receive 3rd degree burns all over their body. If they even survive I couldn’t even imagine the pain and anguish that someone would have to suffer because of those injuries.

Now imagine hoping that someone should suffer that same pain not for one day or a month but for eternity. Not 1000 years, but millions of years — to infinity as they proclaim. What a sadistic and evil thought — pain, suffering and literal torture for infinity.

Well, the way I think of it is this way: I believe there is a Hell, but I pray that is empty as possible. It is my conviction that a good Christian should not want anyone to be in Hell, and should work to help people come to the light of God’s truth. This does not mean saying things like “You’re beliefs are wrong! You’ll burn in Hell!” It means explaining your cause and why your position is the moral one. I don’t think God makes correct opinion on creationism a key determining factor on who gets into Heaven, I think He cares far more about how we treat our fellow man.
