Silly things you misunderstood about religion as a child
#18
RE: Silly things you misunderstood about religion as a child
I came home one day and found nobody home.  I ran to all the neighbor's houses, nobody was there either.  I was sure the Rapture had happened and I had been left behind.  When my Mother and brother came home from the store, I was hiding in my closet.  

Of course, I also believed that if I just prayed hard enough, God would make everything better and I would practically have a halo.

Yeah, I was a brainwashed little idiot.  Those beliefs didn't really start to die until I was in my 30's.
