I fear hell, and this article made things worse for me. What do you guys think?

When you're raised in a culture that believes in God and heaven and hell, these symbols take on a life of their own. Even now, I find Christian art depicting these themes to be imbued with significance. They are powerful symbols once you've been conditioned to regard them as real. What you are feeling is the result of years of conditioning, and it's not realistic to expect the effects of that conditioning just to disappear all at once. It will take time and reinforcement of better messages for the effects of long time conditioning to fade.

In the meantime, you'll probably have waxing and waning effects from that conditioning. That something you read triggered that fear may not be a bad sign. We process the various messages we've subconsciously absorbed by bringing them into our conscious thinking and mulling them over. It's not necessarily a bad sign, it may just be a sign that it's time for you to deal with those messages, and your brain is taking care of it for you.
