Who can estimate the terrible effects of the fear of a physical hell; of eternal punishment? This doctrine has for centuries cast a gloom over the human race.

The central idea in the origin of churches was to furnish a way of relief from fear in all its various forms of expression. In other words, it was an effort of human beings to furnish relief from the things which trouble and worry, from the heart-aches of mankind. And yet these very churches have unconsciously encouraged the development of fear by using it as a weapon to whip people into church attendance, the performance of church duties, etc.!

What a terrible thing it is for a human being, made in the Creator's image, to live in perpetual fear that something terrible is going to happen to him, here or hereafter; that he is a mere puppet of circumstance; that a cruel fate is likely at any time to appear in the guise of some dread disease or calamity!

How can one learn to develop the highest ideals of life while he holds in the mind the constant fear of death; the dread of possible momentary dissolution; the possibility of having all his life plans strangled, snuffed out in an instant? Nothing enduring, nothing permanent
