But how can we be separated from God? God is everywhere. There is no spot where God is not.

Not agreeing with it isn't the same as not getting it.
The only devil that mankind needs to worry about is the himself. The only hell to fear is the one you put yourself through. To ignore God(love)and worship the self(satan, money, greed, power) is the absence of God(hell). God is not everywhere in the sense that He is not in your heart unless you seek for Him there. If you seek you shall find. It is called freewill. He departs from the wicked.
God loves us and wants us to be with Him. But there are those people who reject God, and He is merciful enough to make allowances, even for them. Hence, there is a place where God is not. That place is Hell, and that is where people can go if they wish to reject God. This is permitted through our own Free Will and from the mercy of God.
The only thing to get about this thread, is that the author has obviously read "The Pagan Christ" by Tom Harpur and they seem to agree with it but not very eloquently.
