And do you think your refusal to believe will convince God to change his nature? He is who he is no matter what you think of him. Despite what Americans believe, the universe is not a democracy. Truth is not determined by the majority. As for hell, if you were as just and holy as God is, you would understand that all men deserve hell. It is no puzzle that men should go to hell. What is a puzzle is that men should go to heaven.

The quote emphasizes the unchanging nature of God, asserting that one's disbelief does not influence his essence. It suggests that the universe operates under absolute truths that are not influenced by popular opinion. Therefore, the notion of divine justice is presented, highlighting a fundamental belief in the existence of hell as something that aligns with God's holiness and justice.

Additionally, the quote challenges the reader to contemplate the concept of heaven. It implies that while the fate of hell is just and deserved, it is the idea of grace leading to heaven that is truly remarkable and worthy of reflection. This perspective invites a deeper understanding of the balance between justice and mercy within the framework of divine authority.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
