Religious Trauma Syndrome, Dr. Marlene Winell, Part 3

When I became an atheist, my mom said "but you were saved when you were 4!" I don't even remember being 4. How could I be responsible for my eternal soul at that age? Heck, I could kill a man at age 4 and not be held responsible due to my age!

I read the Bible from cover to cover as a young boy. When I read the Bible and understood what it actually says, I feel into deep despair. I would lie in bed weeping that God and Jesus could be so cruel.

Fortunately, I went back, studied the Bible and came to the conclusion that there was no reason to believe in an "eternal hell." If anyone is interested, my conclusions can be read at:
