That's their basic form of control: fear.
I know people who even after years of being away from Catholicism still have that fear at the back of their mind.
Hell, I still do occasionally and I've been clean 17 years. My brother is the same, though he gave up the religion fairly recently after seeing what religion has done to Afghanistan.
Stay strong. And ignore the types who, even here, will see this as a sign to jump on you with crap like "that's god letting you know he's real".
