Indoctrination via fear is a horrible thing. It causes long-term psychological damage, and even if one rationally disbelieves in the vile myth of hell, it is difficult to overcome the emotional gut reaction that was instilled by prior brainwashing.
This is why I believe that frightening children and vulnerable adults with tales of hell should be a felony worldwide, punishable with prison time.
