I know I found some online outlets or I would have felt totally alone, Arkansas isn't known for its large atheist population. <br /><br />I dealt with that fear of hell too, even when I didn't believe it was a real place.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470392187213526525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387837261213229289.post-82703253515609326882011-04-02T16:37:19.189-07:002011-04-02T16:37:19.189-07:00I really regret not keeping in touch when I left H...I really regret not keeping in touch when I left Hendrix. I think we were at different places in our deconversions at that time, but having someone to talk to would've been helpful. I felt panicked, like the only thing about myself that mattered was slipping away, and I was going to take everyone around me down with me. I pleaded with God, begged for help but surprise, surprise, I never got an answer. Looking back the thing that makes me angriest is the way the fear of hell lingered long after I had rejected Christianity. It seems nonsensical (and also embarrassing) now -- I absolutely denied the existence of all gods, but was still afraid I would go to hell. But that's why indoctrination is so insidious.
