HELL

[abaris]

We "go to" Hell not as a punishment from God, as the article says, but because we chose to be away from Him.

Well, thats only the nicer version of what our resident evangelicals tend to say. You're saying, someone chooses to be away from him, they say, we condemn ourselves to hell. In my opinion both versions shift responsibilities. In a way it's blaming the victim to keep god from being the one, meting out the punishment. It's on the same lines as the medieval slogan of the church not shedding blood. The reality was, they let the secular authorities shed blood for them to wash their hands on the matter.
