Really? A less generous person than I might say that it's an attempt to make yourself feel superior to everyone else. One of the élite in fact.
I live my life as Paul gave the example, I'm the least among you. I really do not care if you believe this or not, God knows and that's all that matters.

Indoctrination via fear is a horrible thing. It causes long-term psychological damage, and even if one rationally disbelieves in the vile myth of hell, it is difficult to overcome the emotional gut reaction that was instilled by prior brainwashing.
This is why I believe that frightening children and vulnerable adults with tales of hell should be a felony worldwide, punishable with prison time.
Funny I believe the same about evolution. Indoctrination by any sort is not a good way, let lone fear. Indoctrination means there's something to sale (yes there are Christians who sale Christianity and I do not agree with there tactics), Christianity is not for sale, period.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
