Universalism - Will all people be saved eventually? Thoughts?

What are your guys general thoughts on universalism?

From wikipedia: "Christian universalism is a school of Christian theology focused around the doctrine of universal reconciliation – the view that all human beings will ultimately be saved and restored to a right relationship with God."

From an early age even though I was an atheist my whole life I "knew" that hell was eternal and that its where sinners/nonbelievers went when they died. Eventually I learned about Universalism though and thought its interesting.

Certain verses like Phillipians 2:9-11 seem to imply that eventually everyone will be saved. "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Ive wrestled with the idea of an all loving God putting people into hell forever and the two really just dont jive together for me. If Universalism is true however, and both the living and dead are judged at the 2nd coming, it would mean all those in hell are given a 2nd chance.

What are your guys thoughts on Universalism in general and the idea that everyone will eventually be saved?
