Help me not fear heaven/hell

[Catharsis]

Are you saying people try to gain control of other people by claiming God will punish them otherwise when they don't?

Obviously. Religions of various stripes have been doing that for centuries. We know that already. Had you a point or points you wished to make? If so, you have failed miserably.

Usually people don't try to make a point when asking a question.




Allow me to explain, it's quite simple really.

People ask questions in the hope of receiving an answer because they feel the need for one.
