For any of you trying to get over the Hell fear, you should know Eternal Damnation isn’t actually even in the Bible. (medium.com)

Warning, this IS from the perspective of a Christian. But it’s something I wish I had known when I was deconverting.

The heaven and hell bullshit is just something modern Christian’s use to get you to tithe and support fascist ideals. Fuck them.

I think buddy deleted his comment. I was worried because I was like “oh fuck maybe I’m wrong here.”

It’s not the first time I’ve heard of this “actually no hell in the original translations of the Bible” thing but the first time I actually looked into it at all so I was open to the idea that I was wrong. I’m completely atheist now so it wasn’t a high stakes fight for me anyway, but I just feel like I would have had such a less stressful time leaving Christianity if I had known this and want to help other heathens that I know would probably be super relieved to hear this.
