Controversy: Rob Bell's "Love Wins"

So the other night I decided to try get into this whole twitter thing. Yes, I know it's been around forever now but I never really "got it" and just stuck with Facebook. So I go on twitter and discover the trending topics and see a familiar name at the top of the list: Rob Bell.
Now I do like Rob Bell and his nooma series etc so I decided to check it out and found what I wish I didn't.. Hate. Lots and lots of hating going on from so-called christians about Rob Bell and his new unreleased book about heaven and hell called: "Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived".
The marketing makes it sound sensational and a very brief video from Rob Bell poses some provoking questions but nothing says what he actually thinks or believes, yet everyone on the twittersphere is yelling condemnation and heresy!!
It's no wonder the world sees the Church in a bad light.

Here's the article and video that has been retweeted a bajillion times already: http://ow.ly/445Q5
