Why 11 years? Afraid of hell?

Shaggy already got it: late twenties. It was actually two years, though.

As for why: the first year-and-a-half, I was trying to get myself believing again. I always had and assumed that it was correct and the problem must be with me. After that period, I got to the point where I really couldn't believe it anymore, and yeah, there was about a six month period where I couldn't admit to myself that I didn't believe because I was afraid of hell.

I got over that when I realized that I'd never lost any sleep about going to Muslim hell for not following the five pillars of Islam, so why was I worried about this hell?
