Ex-Christians: How do you lose your fear of hell?
#18
RE: Ex-Christians: How do you lose your fear of hell?
Hell never had much of a hold on me, because my church didn't really focus on it. It was more of a "Isn't Jesus wonderful? Don't we all want to be good children like Jesus was?" kind of thing. I was told that Jesus wants to have a relationship with me, and god wants us to come to him willingly.

Eventually I decided that I can't worship a guy like that in good conscience. I just can't genuinely follow a guy like that, and even if I get into heaven by paying lip service, I'll likely get kicked out eventually anyway. Hell seems unavoidable, so there isn't much point stressing over it. Not like I can do anything about it.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
