My first thought was how the story seemed to allow people to blame others for where they are. IMHO, no matter what hell is like, part of it would surely be that the person would have no illusions about why he is there. Regret may be a stronger emotion than hate? I think so. It goes to the perfection of God that every man will be judged for himself - that each soul had a choice and chose pride. I believe that Satan only has the power that people give him. He can't fool someone. They have to choose to be fooled.

My stronger disagreement with the story is the lack of grace. I see life from a completely opposite viewpoint. It's not the horrors that will befall you if you choose unwisely, it's the great gifts you receive when you choose Christ. It's the difference between running away from something and running toward something.

I can go on, but leaving tomorrow and I want to see what you think.
