Maybe we should wait to teach children a language, let them decide what language to speak when they turn 18. They may not want to speak the language of their parents :) BTW: I love St. Faustina!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829281551915536894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-18083362066224358522011-03-15T22:15:49.677+00:002011-03-15T22:15:49.677+00:00I would send this to some of the people who taunt ...I would send this to some of the people who taunt me with "You really believe in Hell?" but the only thing it would accomplish is that they would question how a benevolent God could inflict such suffering. God doesn't - the sinner inflicts it upon itself by rejecting Him. I think the best way to bring people closer to God is by sparking or increasing their love for Him, not necessarily scaring them into it, which doesn't really work. When a person loves God as they ought, the fear of the pain of Hell is nothing compared to the pain of being separated from Him forever. My own take on why people fall away from the faith is the deterioration of Sunday in general, laziness and self-centeredness.
