I grew up in a fundie home. I was told that I needed to be careful to not sin even in my thoughts. I wasn't even allowed to listen to secular music. I grew up ashamed of my feelings, my nature. Things that I should have enjoyed and celebrated as a normal person made me feel guilty beyond what words can describe. I was afraid to admit things even in my mind. I deserved hell. Everything was godly or evil. My self esteem had no hope. I took bad decisions based on faith that now, years later, I'm still having to work hard on to fix.
Religion is child abuse. I forgive my parents, and they have asked for forgiveness too many times now that they are free. I'm not hesitant, though. Religion abuses children, women, lgbt, government, education, money, etc. I am very much anti religion and feel strongly about it.
