Sorry folks. The content of the post I put up earlier somehow got deleted, which did, of course, deter several of you from responding!I'm working on a feature about conceptions of hell among Catholics and I was looking for folks to share their personal experiences rather than theological arguments per se. Did fear of hell play a significant role in your religious imagination when you were growing up? Does it still? Have your views changed over the years? Thanks to all who have already responded and for the chance to clarify my original question.
