Hell houses are haunted attractions typically run by American, fundamentalist Christian churches or parachurch groups.

so i just resumed on my reading of “The GOD Delusion” almost done. I came across the reading of “Hell House,” it is about Christians scaring the shit out of their kids, usually at the age of 12, and i think that is totally messed up in the head. Why the hell would you traumatize your kids like that?

As much as I can’t stand religion, I believe kids, whether in a family of atheists or christians or other religions, they should be taught how to think for themselves rather than taught what to think.

If you are religious (with kids), sure tell them about the religion, don’t enforce it on them, let them learn science. I am sure they will come to a conclusion on their own.

Don’t traumatize the kids by bringing them to hell house and scaring them shitless for Jesus.

This is such a bad way to “convert” them. This simply makes christians evil.
