(June 10, 2025 at 6:14 pm)Forever Sophist Wrote: When I was leaving Christianity as a young teen, I recall the last thing holding me back was the fear of hell. The point of this post is to show two quick reasons for those in this in-between state of religion and irreligion (specifically in regard to Christianity/Islam which threatens your eternal afterlife with punishment) and how you can move past this.

1. Fear is not a reason to believe + Belief is not something you can choose

If your idea of hell is literal fiery torment, let me assure you that there are no scriptures in the Judeo-Christian Bible in support of that.
