[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being obsessed and worried and constantly thinking about “going to hell” is a form of OCD.

Some examples of religious obsessions include:

Fear of not having enough faith.
Fear of going to Hell.
Fear of being unclean or contaminated according to the rules of one’s religion.
Fear of committing immoral behavior.

Unlike typical religious activity, spiritual compulsions are often motivated more by fear than faith.

People who are truly religious and have faith in their God and religious beliefs system, whatever it maybe, are not religious because they are “afraid of going to hell.” They find strength and comfort and support in their chosen religion. They are not motivated by thoughts of eternal torment or suffering; they are motivated by the positive aspects of their religion.

Religious OCD is when someone is when someone participates in repetitive, time-consuming activities that the person does not enjoy, and has an overwhelming fear of “going to hell” and  the consequences of “burning in hell,” etc.
