The ironic thing is I never heard this worry about hell come up among Christians as much as it does with the atheists on this forum.

Ummm... it was brought up by a Christian.
Second... the layers of delusion. Christianity use the threat of the stick. I was raised Christian (Lutheran). And we were all taught the implicit threat of hell. I must have had a really unique upbringing to feel that it was constantly reinforced in us that people who didn't follow were going to hell.

Are people focusing on hell because they fear something in their own lives?

I didn't count but I'd guess that most people in this thread pointed out that they don't focus on hell because they don't believe it. And that the concept is ridiculous.

Fearing hell so much that you refuse to believe in it? That prevents you from doing whats pleasing to God. It must be a trick of the devil.

And then it turns comic.
