All civil discussion is good discussion. There has historically been a ton of fear used is religion so it's a very pertinent topic. Did you feel fear of damnation when you were a believer?

Not so much. My particular denomination did not really play up the hellfire too much. I got a lot of that when I would visit other chiurches with my friends, and my daughter got a lot of it from her grandparents (not my parents). That part hasn't really changed, but shifted. My fears were more based on disappointing a god, or really more specifically those who follow him, I think.
