Not really a comment on the article, but more something my 13 yr old son said yesterday when we were talking about this topic..

He asked.."How can someone believe they make the decision on whether they go to heaven or not?" Then he add's his thoughts "if it were left up to everyone, then everyone would be going to heaven, and that's not what the bible says...the Bible clearly says there IS a Hell and people will go there, and since there is a Hell and nobody would choose to go there, or there would be no need for the bible to mention hell, that must mean God declares it, or that would make God a liar, and well, God is not a liar."

Then he got quite, and I asked what he was thinking..and he said.."the thought of an eternity in hell, that's forever and ever with no end to suffering, that's really scary."

His 13 yr old friend who was with us, looked at him and said.."I've never thought about it that way, WOW, I'm going to have to think about that some more."
