RE: Irational fear of hell still naggs me from time to time

My take, all of religion/god/heaven/hell is a fantasy, a product of mans mind. For some evolutionary reason our minds have developed to have some strange need for a mental god like belief/presence. That does not mean that it's real, only that on some level the fantasy allows us to resolve issues of the unknown that create an emotional state of fear.

Religion now uses the fantasy of heaven/hell (and/or others) to manipulate society.

Once you can see the fantasy for what it is you can rid yourself of the irrational fear.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
