Hell

"In the long run, the answer to all those who object to the doctrine of hell is...a question: 'What are you asking God to do?' To wipe out their past sins and, at all costs, to give them a fresh start, smoothing every difficulty and offering every miraculous help? But He has done so, on Calvary. To forgive them? They will not be forgiven. To leave them alone? Alas, I am afraid that that is what He does."
--C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
