What Becca and others said. I said "Show me the evidence for your claims, or stop disturbing me with cruel lies!" It didn't make my life any easier, but having survived a childhood in which I had not one single day free of anxiety, I now live free without any worries beyond the grave.
There are two types of ideas: there is fact, and there is non-fact. Facts are determined empirically, i.e, what the King James Version says verbatim is an empirical fact. That it doesn't represent a ghastly mountain of cruel bullshit is non-factual. Therefore, please don't waste other people's precious time trying to spin Bullshit Mountain as gold!
