So, what DOES St. Therese describe heaven as? You caught my interest.

I was also afraid of going to hell. God is not evil, he is very loving and helpful. I actually read a post from a friend about someone asking why God has turned his back on mankind. Billy Grahams daughter responded by saying this "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?”

Makes perfect sense. I have separate beliefs from the bible but I still believe in God.
