Elizabeth, this is hard to share in a brief comment --so here is my attempt.

I agree with you, IF God is love, how could such a thing like hell exist -- and that is widely questioned and seen -- you are NOT alone.

"If God is Love" by Phillip Gulley opened up that door to me and the floodates were wide open for the remaining questions that I sought to answer -- I think you would greatly enjoy it and identify.

I don't go as far to describe and tell anyone if and how I believe in God---but I make it unequivocally clear I want nothing to do with organized religion and most definitely the latest so-called Christians and evangelicals in mainstream America that are wrecking havoc to the love fabric that used to be felt and seen.

I'll try to read your other story you attached later this week...thanks for sharing.

Peace my friend!
