Ex-Christians: How do you lose your fear of hell?

RE: Ex-Christians: How do you lose your fear of hell?

How about you read how Christianity answers the questions you pose? Christianity has been answering the very toughest questions for two thousand years by tens of thousands of people writing hundreds of thousands of books in hundreds of languages. It is important to realize, there are no new objections to Christianity that this generation stumbled upon.

You specifically mentioned the problem of evil. That has an answer. Broaden you scope beyond the Catholic Church--perhaps your objections to certain doctrines are answered by different thoughts on the matter.

When your "quest for truth" begins and ends within the confines of the very book you are trying to test, it is the height of confirmation-bias
