I'm hesitant to detail my views on the matter too much yet, because I don't want to dictate the conversation right now. I will reference Lewis' quote of Chesterson, to the effect that Hell is a testament to mankind's free will. I know we also both share a certain fondness for "The Great Divorce", which was a pretty cool treatment of the subject.
Along that line, I'll also say that I loved your fictitious conversation between Jesus and the atheist outside of heaven (on your blog). It was something to the effect of:
Jesus: "You wanna come in?"
Atheist: "Not really."
Jesus: "OK. Have it your way."
Thoughts?
PS: Do us a favor and don't stay gone fro your blogging too terribly long/much. Yes, I'm being selfish. :)
