The latter works to take care of unbelievers and heretics and to make a point to "insecure" doubting believers at the same time.
If there's one thing that the Churches have ever been adept in it's controlling people through fear and deception.
there is to much fear and people already have issues in life why do they need a church to tell them what other stuff to worry about. that would the last thing on my mind before i have to worry about where i am going when i die. its a irrational fear to put on people its a irrational fear of the unknown but tries to answer it with you will go to heaven or go to hell. this place is bright its lively people love each other and there is music then there is hell its bad you get punctured with pitch forks get burned alive. though hell would be heaven for masochists. Fear shouldn't be taught in church but hope that is more useful than irrational fear.
