My parents never did something like that. But, I think I already told that episode, at school a priest did. It's engraved in my mind to this very day. If we sin, god would take what's dearest to us. That is abuse, since I kept months worrying. On te other hand, it was also my first step towards atheism. But since I never read what Dawkins had to say on episodes like that, I can't really comment on what he said in his book. So I reserve judgment.

But telling a nasty story may make all the difference in a child's mind.
