Plus, after I left religion few years ago I have the same state from time to time, which basically is a feeling of guilt and a small doubt that there is hell and I should repent and endure hardships by helping others and not think of my own egositical comfortable life.
Is this is the religious indoctrination I have been hearing about here?
Maybe it's God tapping you on the shoulder. Jesus taught us that it is important to help others even if we must deny ourselves some comfort to do so. Followers of Jesus believe that life isn't all about pleasure even though that is part of it. We gain more by giving ourselves for the good of others. This isn't some rule of religion, but rather a teaching of Jesus on how we should live.
