How does it differ from an irrational fear of hell? If hell is real, how could any fear of it be irrational? And wouldn't having that fear sooner be better than risking not having it at all?<br /><br />Perhaps all religious instruction/indoctrination is inappropriate for young children.GentleSkeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10635966921313379917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434842591971703006.post-42150331345578248412011-08-01T19:14:04.760-07:002011-08-01T19:14:04.760-07:00I don't know if these are the WORST examples, ...I don't know if these are the WORST examples, but politically, Hoover's actions <a href="http://www.suite101.com/content/president-hoover-worsens-the-great-depression-a150260" rel="nofollow">greatly exacerbated</a> the Great Depression. I would only add that the actions he decided to take were primarily those supported by the Left at the time.<br /><br />In so far as religion is concerned, I think that sometimes Christians are influenced by poor Sunday school theology and when they attempt to instruct others, it can have negative effects.<br /><br />In a philosophy club meeting the other day, a couple of people complained that they were exposed to the idea of Hell when they were quite young and they developed an irrational fear of it as a result. Perhaps such instruction wasnt age appropriate at the time.J Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746127431922685446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434842591971703006.post-80294598561200737932011-08-01T18:47:21.593-07:002011-08-01T18:47:21.593-07:00It's purposely a difficult question and I'...It's purposely a difficult question and I've been asking it of members of diverse groups.
