It seems to me, because of the extensive use of Pascal's Wager, that many people convert to Christianity out of fear- fear of Hell, fear of being a lost sinner, fear of not having a purpose, fear of not being able to kick an addiction, etc.
Is this healthy when this happens? I know not all Christians become Christians this way; I am only refering to these instances.
I'm exploring what I believe right now and it feels wonderful to find truths on my own. If I accepted any religion out of fear it just wouldn't have the same spiritual affect to me, but I'd like to hear your opinions.
