I grew up a Christian, and I find that I am very disturbed by the things that I learned in the Bible. I am quite anxious and paranoid about "committing sins" and provoking "God's punishment." The whole Biblical idea that God is not going to love or forgive non-Christians after they die is extremely distressing to my emotions.

I trace a lot of my emotional problems to the kind of doctrines that the Bible presents. Do any of you feel the same way?
