The fire of loss
is like the blackest of tar,
heavy and sticky...
The crush of darkness
shall envelop thy being
like you were buried:
Forever.
Forever!

Religious art often depicts hell as a projection of the human inclination to live and build in community.
But hellfire is the absolute rejection of this human inclination.
The rejection of the Kingship of God is also a rejection of the communal order of human reality.
Therefore, hellfire is a state of eternal desolation.
It piles upon the soul like skin of the heaviest, stickiest, smelliest, blackest tar - separating Man from his own humanity - hardening the human heart against the tender mercies of God.
And hell is a place of isolation.
There shall be no more familiar human faces, human places, human customs, human culture, human promise, human dignity, or human community in hell.
In hell, at the end of this dispensation of time, the damned will be truly alone, burning and restless, twisted beyond recognition, the sport of demons forever.
Hell and hellfire is not meant for human beings. For hellfire is not the original purpose of Man. Nor hell the proposed habitation of the one family of the nations of Mankind.
It is therefore inhuman to desire hellfire on other human beings.
As the LORD Himself desires salvation for all the children of Mankind, the heart that knows God must neither exceed nor fall short of the will of the LORD.
No one goes to hell by accident.
