The threat of hell and damnation if you did not comply with invented religious directives — universeness
Don't forget the actual occurrence of hell on Earth for people who don't and didn't comply with the invented directives of science. — Raymond
Nonsense! and hell is not scary as it does not exist. Don't try to pass on the fear you obviously feel yourself in the dark places. These are just indoctrinations forced upon. you in your more vulnerable years — universeness
