The other Rob Bell
Amid the apocalyptic to-do about Rob Bell possibly considering an idea that other Christians have considered for centuries, Rachel Held Evans had a fun idea: an interview with another Rob Bell, a web designer in the U.K.
This Bell is not a sometimes-controversial religious leader, but he's often mistaken for one--not least because he beat the American megachurch pastor to the Twitter handle @robbell. After Bell the pastor released his hell video, Bell the designer saw all hell break loose on his Twitter feed. In a striking contrast to his Bible-wielding attackers, this Bell--a universalist, but not the Christian kind--responded to them with humor and grace.
