Scripture says that he will wipe the tears from our eyes, but I hope that doesn't mean imposing a kind of willful ignorance on the blessed. I think the better response is this: In heaven we will have command of all the facts, see that the torment of the damned is just, and rejoice in the Lord because he is just.I cannot understand how anybody could ever come to see eternal torment as just for the billions that are destined to be there if the Bible is to be believed. If hell is real (and it's not), it is filled with billions upon billions of people who didn't accept Christ simply because they were born in a place where Christianity is not the dominant religion and they were never exposed to it. One's locality and nationality play a pivotal role in what religion they follow. It hardly seems just to cast billions of people into hell for not believing in a religion that they know nothing of.
