I don't believe in Hell. I am raising Agnostic/Pantheist children ( Agnostic per their dad side) so biblical ideas like hell or heaven have no meaningful concept to them, which was the goal for me as a parent. Myself having a Catholic upbringing, I feel I was always afraid or guilty. There has been liberation within me since I distanced and removed myself from religion after I moved away from home. I remember as a child waking up in night sweats over religious stories including 'The Devil' and demons from hell, a place I was could go if I didn't behave. I just knew I couldn't raise my kids the same.
Just to see where my kids are at with it, I asked my 10 year old right what her thoughts on 'Hell' where. She just simply said, " I don't care for it".
" Isn't it a man made idea..or something"?
