The comment itself was comic relief but it had some truth. One thing that kept me in the early stages of my relationship with Christ was reverence for God and fear of Hell. It gave me a desire to be delivered from sin...and it's Biblical. Have I grown from that? Certainly. Unfortunately in my early years of salvation I was a hard headed young buck who had to be reminded of the reality of Hell every once and while to keep him from going right back into the World.

Sorry that my reasons for wanting to be saved aren't as spectacular as you may have expected...
