From a netfriend:

It is very intriguing to me that the vast majority of Christians accept the Nicene Creed, but do NOT accept universalism.

Especially since Gregory Nazianzen was the Univeralist who oversaw the formulation of the Nicene Creed.

Here is a very interesting e-book that is a reproduction of a book that was originaly published in 1899. If you read it, perhaps you will begin to wonder, at least, if eternal torture just might be a wrong-headed idea.

Why do we believe that:

Humans torturing other humans temporarily = EVIL

God torturing humans for all eternity = JUSTICE
