“Hell [...] is the absence of God and the presence of Time.”

“Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.”

“Safety is not the absence of danger, but the presence of God.”

“Still deadly alive; going through the same hell; sensing soul desertion all time as well as that weakness in both your absence and presence.”

“How to describe hell? Disembowelled landscape busy with suffering, incessant heat, permanent scarlet twilight, a swirling snowfall of ash, the stink of pain and the din of...if only, hell is two things: the absence of God and the presence of time. Infinite variations on that theme. Doesn't sound so bad, does it? Well, trust me.”

“Hell is only loneliness, a place without play for the soul, a place without God. How could there be God in loneliness when God is presence?”
