Hellbound?

Hell. The final frontier of free will. A shadowy abode choked with eggy, sulphurous fumes; the stench of blackened, bubbling flesh and screams of agony from souls trapped forever in a lake of fire, tortured by a worm that dieth not. A vision made all the more terrifying by the fact that God-the only being who could possibly save us from such a fate-is the one who consigns or abandons us there instead.

Such horrific depictions of hell have gripped humanity for centuries. And rightly so. Throughout history, people of all faiths have agonized over why God allows so much evil in the world. Their only comfort has been the hope that somehow, someday, God will make things right. Evildoers may get away with murder in this life. But in the life to come, there’ll be hell to pay.

But the traditional view of hell also presents us with a dilemma: Of course we all want to see the scales of justice balanced. But if God is our pure, all-loving Creator, can he really allow (presumably) billions of people to suffer in hell for eternity? Evil is evil, but doesn’t the traditional view of hell tip the scales too far the other way? To many people, it seems like we can have a good God or we can have the traditional view of hell, but we can’t have both…

While some may regard us as the Right Hand of Doom, we’re really just a small group of regular guys who have probably spent WAY too much time together on the road and in the editing room. Meet the intrepid group of filmmakers who have literally gone to Hell and back (Hell, Michigan, that is!) on our quest to discover if any of us are truly hellbound…

Musings, confusings, newsings-you’ll find it all here. And that includes guest posts from some of the people who were interviewed for this film. But all in good time…
