"People choose eternity in hell for the same reason they created hell on earth- because they prefer the misery they know to the mystery they do not. Why are angry people angry, hurt people hurt, and addicts addicted? It isn't because they are unaware of the possibilities of redemption. It is because they have befriende their pain and trust it only. To benefit from a savior, you have to trust him instead, which is what we call faith"
