Fundie preachers make it sound as terrifying as possible to keep you in line, but Universalists make a scriptural case that hell isn't eternal.

Reminds me of a joke: Universalists thinkg God is too good to put them in hell, Unitarians think THEY'RE too good for God to put them in hell.

Yep that's basically what I'm hoping for, so I'll be very happy if I ever get into the sort of state of mind you're in Smile But those sorts of feelings, that I likewise had in the past, just got thrown out the window with that drug withdrawal reaction, but hopefully soon it will wear off and I can get back to normal.
