There I was as a kid, terrified because I had doubts about how just it was for people to go to hell because they grew up indoctrinated to believe in the wrong "God." Terrified because "God" was watching me having those doubts! He would burn me for defying his wisdom! Forever! Nightmares after nightmares, me trying to stop my own mind from thinking those sinful thoughts, lest "God" find me unworthy and burn me forever.<br /><br />That's definitely child abuse. A kid silencing his own reason out of fear for a monster who can see and hear anything and everything you do and think.<br /><br />Christianity definitely requires an individual to be dishonest to himself.

Indeed, it is the inner psychological tension created by a conflict between faith and reality that forces one to leave behind the faith of their youth.Keep up the good postings. Congratulations on another year. Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261581774826680756noreply@blogger.com
