[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe in God and hell and they both scare me. I know I should believe God is a loving God but thinking that he can’t burn someone forever causes me to fear him. The thought of being on fire forever is awful and I can’t wrap my head around the fact that God would cause such pain to his children simply because they didn’t believe in him or do as he wanted. If he was a human we would think of him as the worst most awful serial killer of all time. That thinking gives me hope that God would actually burn people forever but I still believe in hell. It causes me a lot of anxiety. I won’t have children because the thought of my child being on fire is something I can’t risk .

Do I worry about others going to hell? Not really because I figure I’ve never been one to consider myself lucky and gather I’ll probably be their right along with them. You never know what could put him over the edge about you . I always try and do the right thing but I fall short sometimes. It upsets me because I didn’t want to be alive, don’t want it now but God created me so I’m here just hoping to die a painless death and either go to heaven or nowhere. Hell is a horrible thought.[/quote]

Any decent counselor, including a Christian counselor would work to work to disabuse you of these false beliefs.   Please seek help.

This thinking is horrendous if true.  It sounds like a joke post, expressing the worst fears of a christian believer.  If these are your real feelings, please know that it is not christian teachings that are making you feel this way, but your own psychology and warped views of god.

There are plenty of good christians who don't believe in this horrible view of the afterlife.  With help, you could be one of them.

+1 it really does sound like a joke post, or a person that saw something that was “hell” on a cartoon as a child, and that scared them and no adult in their life ever spoke with them truthfully.

What’s even more horrendous is that if true, you won’t have a child and a loving relationship with your own child ever because “God will burn them forever!”

That’s what I mean: people who are this affected by “hell” need to talk to someone!
