I was never so miserable as when I truly believed in Jehovah.  I was truly broken under the "sweet protection" of the overlord Christ Jesus.
I got "saved" at least a dozen times and by the age of six I was constantly worried about dying and going to hell.

There is no "peace that passeth all understanding" as the Bible purports.  This is plainly evident for one reason:  NO ONE would ever leave Christianity if you were given peace that transcends anything you've ever known.  It wouldn't happen.  It couldn't happen.  No person on the planet would give away such a thing.  (Insert No True Scotsman argument here)

It's a filthy lie.  The greatest thing I ever did in my life was free myself from those chains.
