The website is VERY detailed about his "experience" and completely freaked me out beyond belief. I haven't been eating and have not been able to think of anything else besides possibly going to "hell". I've been crying uncontrollably.

So I've been going online and reading about these different religions and their beliefs. Catholics think that if u don't repent and confess stuff then u're going to hell. I am a good person but apparently that's not enough. Good works and faith alone is not enough! I was raised Protestant but what if that's the "wrong" religion? Most of the stuff about hell online is very pushy with flashing words websites. And people claiming that even a scary movie is the devil trying to sway u.

My beliefs about god is that he does exist. I often pray to him and feel that he's been instrumental in what I do and go through in life. But then when I hear this stuff I get scared. I feel love is the ultimate goal in life so how can this loving god cast good people out to eternal torture??. I have decided that going to church will be therapeutic for my anxiety but I don't want to feel like I am going only because im afraid of what may come. Thank u so much for your help!!

I am on celexa, lamictal and wellbutrin
