Ex-Christians: How do you lose your fear of hell?
#15
RE: Ex-Christians: How do you lose your fear of hell?
Logic helped me get over the fear of hell. I just kept looking at it from a logical side instead of emotional and realized that with all the contradictions and the way religion is set up in general it was too hard to believe any of it was true. People didn't know how the world or our bodies worked back then (not that we are experts now but we know a fuck ton more) so the only answers they could come up with when something unexplainable happened was that it was magic. Most of mankind are born to be sheep (in the sense that we just want to live our lives and we will play by the rules without issue) and the rest are the wolves. You can clearly see when the wolves came in and labeled this magic to control the sheep. Thus religion was born. If religion is man made so is heaven and hell and it's hard to be afraid of something made up.

I'm not saying it will happen over night but eventually you will look at the devil and hell like you would Krampus. Something made up to scare humans into behaving.
“What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of what it's supposed to be.”

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."
