C kept saying above how she chose to prevent herself from feeling good because she obviously didn't deserve it. "Others were more deserving in God's eyes" - WHAT?! How did she know that? Because her life was so bad, God was "obviously punishing her". She (the morons telling her what to think) perverted something good into something vile.
People tend to impose their own stuff onto their religion, I agree. And the thing is, they are all convinced that their views are the perfect, divinely inspired ones; it's part of the reason I'm an atheist.

Well, it's also kind of in the bible. Lake of fire and all that; again, it's down to the stuff you choose to believe, but when it's in the official handbook I as an outsider tend to take it a little more seriously than the individual view. Though I do praise you for having less mean spirited beliefs than some.

Hey, I got nothing against you, specifically! Luckie might, but she can fight her own battles. She's coming from a very different childhood and personal experience, after all. Your rationalization sort of smacks of No True Scotsman to me, but in the end we both agree that the kinds of things Luckie was taught and believed were fucked up, so it's all good. I don't really care how we arrived at that conclusion, just so long as neither of us supports that demonstrably harmful doctrine.
