Because the fear has been indoctrinated into some people. Logically knowing it isn't true often isn't enough to fight the effects of deeply ingrained psychological programming.

It's just one of the reasons I'm against indoctrination.

I guess it must also follow that they still have feelings that there is a God.

I am not now, nor have I ever been afraid of "hell".

If anything scares me, it's the potential for living eternally in heaven with a bunch of religious pricks.

Lek: They may well be haunted by such worries, yes. You can rationally know something, yet have your emotions try to override it.

I was in faith, which spinned around karma - temporary torture in hell, which is much more just thing to say according to magical Gods justice.

Non-existence is only scary to those who haven't rried it yet Tongue

RULE 34 will getcha !!!
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
