Did your former religion ever make you feel broken?

RE: Did your former religion ever make you feel broken?
I was told that I needed Jesus, and I knew I wasn't perfect, but no one tried to drill in me that I was evil or worthless or anything. There was a hymn that goes "to save a wretch like me", and I replaced the word wretch with boy. My church focused on building people up. Not breaking them down.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
