Hell isn't scary? Maybe not to some people but to children in particular it can be horrific .
The thought that they, their mom and dad or their grandma and grandpa could spend eternity burning in excruciating pain is very scary.
That is what christians are teaching their kids in catechism and sunday school.
How do I know? Because I lived it. I spent my childhood in fear of committing a mortal sin.
Of going to hell because I had a bad thought or because I fought with my brothers or because I told my parents a fib etc etc etc etc.
Oh no. Hell wasn't only scary, it was a real thing as I grew up.
To some kids hell is hell.

Well conducted introspection dispels the dreams and delirium on wich gods feed.
