I can’t even imagine what it would be like not to be tortured by these ideas for at least some portion of my life. I probably have never known anyone who wasn’t… Where are you from?
When you tell a 4 year old child they will burn forever if they don’t do everything you say, that sticks with them.
I feel like you don’t appreciate how gullible children are or how deeply impacted they can be by their very first experiences in life. Just even hearing this shit is deeply traumatic for a child.
I find it really unlikely I’ll ever be religious again, but every now and then I worry I am wrong about it all.
I’m not saying I understand being religious. Not any part of my rational brain can accept those ideas. But we all have a more primitive part of our brain that deals with emotion, and it can be very powerful.
Can’t speak for BruceTwarzen, but I’m from a fairly large city in Germany and I don’t personally know any religious people.
Side rant: Which makes the various privileges the catholic church gets all the more puzzling and annoying to me.
