We discussed "gut feelings" in depth before. I have no objection to people basing their belief systems of supernatural phenomena and entities, if it gives them some solace and purpose, and as long as it does not harm others.

Do you think someone who believes in heaven and hell and shares that belief with others is harming others?

In and of itself, and as long as it's not used as some kind of witting or unwitting psychological abuse of mentally vulnerable people or young children, no.

Why do you think I was harmed when I heard about heaven and hell when I was a child?
