Actually I wasn't saying that YOU are afraid, but a lot of religious people are, I see it everywhere, some are afraid of not being good enough to go to heaven, others are afraid of their own desires, others are afraid of being under an "spiritual attack". When I was a little child it was more frightening to believe in the god of the bible than not to. My family are somwhat religious and I see that their faith have helped them, and I'm ok with that, but I certainly know some people who I think they would be better not believing because they suffer their faith.
Coat, whose afraid? I am less afraid than I have ever been. Don't put words in my mouth, please....
Not afraid?
In your religion's teachings, what happens to apostates?
