"There will be two kinds of people in the end: Those that will say to God 'Thy will be done' and those to whom God will say 'Fine, have it your way.'" ~ C.S. Lewis
I think that this is a pretty good summation of an awful lot of profound theology, not to mention metaphysics. What do I mean by that? Think about it- God doesn't SEND people to Hell, He doesn't WANT ANYONE to go there, rather, He believes in allowing us to have the power of free will. So if durring this life we reject Him and reject Him, eventually He lets us have our way. Billy Graham once said that Hell is essentially just eternal separation from God. God is love, so that would really suck. I'd rather surrender to God then have him, like a patient and loving parent who's tired of a tantrum, surrender to me.
