“No matter how much I tell myself that there's a Heaven, I just can't believe it. My mind refuses to grasp it; it recognizes the idea, but as soon as I try to say it's true, I hit a wall.

It would be such a relief if I could just believe there was something after this, but I can't.
It's terrifying.”
― Andrew Joseph White, Hell Followed With Us
