It's a dog eat dog world. Evolution in action. Get out of my way because I'm bigger than you and I'll force you into submission. And that's alright because science has proven there is no God, so we may as well act like the animals we are.
It's so beautiful. 😞

However, despite the reality that a good portion of people who come to God are doing so on the basis of escaping Hell, those who have tasted the goodness, the God-ness of Him cease thinking in terms of Heaven or Hell: they're already in Heaven by being in a relationship with Him.
The only Hell possible is being without.
