Response: I understand, but the truth of the matter is that you are truely making choices. But they are compatible with what God already predestined. It should not be seen as depressing because a holy and wonderful God is behind all of this crazyness in the world. How else can we have the security that evil will one day be destroyed?

Response: Have you ever considered that those people who go to hell want to go to hell? And if they went to heaven they would be worse off, because they don't want to be there?
