Hell... according to the Orthodox

Check out this quote from The Orthodox Church, By Timothy Ware.

266: “Since free will exists, hell exists; for hell is nothing other than the rejection of God.” God is love, but love is not love if it is forced, therefore humans are able to reject the love of God. “Hell is not so much a place where God imprisons man, as a place where man, by misusing his free will, chooses to imprison himself. And even in hell, the wicked are not deprived of the love of God, but by their own choice they experience as suffering what the saints experience as joy. ‘The love of God will be an intolerable torment for those who have not acquired it within themselves’.”

This is interesting. What do you think?
