"What kind of tyrant God would He be if He MADE people go to heaven."
wow. Just think about that one... probably one of the most ridiculous statements I have ever heard. I was in line for lunch. I almost turned around and gave this dear boy some of my own thoughts. I didn't.

Obviously I disagree with his statement.
At the same time, to those who've rejected God, the splendor of God would be the ultimate terror. When you look at the terror created in godly men and women by mere angels... can you imagine how horrifying the full glory of God would be to an unrepentant person.
There's a part in "Searching for God Knows What" where Donald Miller wonders (tongue-in-cheek) whether the first hundred years in heaven will be everyone running around screaming at the fierce glory of God as He tries to calm us down.
Hm. Maybe my comment is completely irrelevant. The unnamed Moody-mate probably just meant, "God can't touch my free will or He's a tyrant."
PS: I rather wish you had given him some of your thoughts. I can just see the peacock feathers rising, and the terrified little teenager wondering how this nice girl in front of him has suddenly morphed into a fragment of Norse fury.
