Hostage to fear

[robvalue]

You're very welcome Spacetime It brought a big smile to my face to see you liked my post!

I'm very glad you came here too, and to hear you feel at ease. I think you're going to fit in great! I'm pleased to hear that you don't want your children having to worry about hell. It is the absolute most sickening thing religion has ever come up with, and you're doing them a great service. Something has to be really, really unfounded to require such horrific underhanded manipulation to get people to tow the line. I really hope that as time goes on the fear associated with this fades. I feel confident it will, as your mind accepts more and more that it was only a concept drummed into your brain and nothing based in reality.

I'm lucky in that I was never exposed to any sort of indoctrination, so have always been able to see religion for the sham that it is. I wish I could transfer the clarity I have to those coming out of the transition like yourself.
