Re: Does the thought of Hell ever scare an atheist?
[ QUOTE ]
The concept of hell seriously [censored] me up as a kid. There's still some lingering episodic fear, but it's well under control now. I am a hypochondriac and I experience significant anxiety regarding my health - this may be the legacy of hell. Thankfully, the power of religion to terrorize me gets weaker and weaker as I get older. [/ QUOTE ] That's a very good point. I'm glad my family (who were Christians) didn't believe in hell, nor did they 'teach' christianity to us kids before we were 15 (we picked up bits and piecesit ofcourse, but there was no 'indoctrination', rituals or christenings or stuff like that). |
