Padre Pio’s Answer to Those Who Deny the Existence of Hell

Padre Pio was once asked what he thought about people who do not believe in Hell.

His answer: "They’ll believe in Hell when they get there."

Hell exists. The Devil is an active force, a living, spiritual being. Those who ignore Hell's reality do so at their own peril. Ultimately, it is our decision to sin or to love that determines where we spend eternity. God respects our free will, even if we chose damnation over Him.
