Did some minister/priest ever try to?
Yes he had to, but not towards ministers but towards people from our village and once our housekeeper who would drop remarks like you have to be good or else you go to hell.
I recall an incident about twenty years ago, when a friend of mine, a hobby xtian in a particularly proselytising phase at the time, told my nephew Chris (then aged about six) all about Hell and demonic monsters just waiting to get him if he was naughty. Chris took it as a game at the time, and I think stickers or badges were involved. But later, once my friend had left, Chris came to his favourite uncle - yours truly - genuinely frightened and wanted to know that it wasn't real. I managed to reassure him; then one short, sharp chat with my friend and he never tried it again. This shit does real damage; but the twat causing it isn't around to see the trauma that feeds it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
