Because of this I actually used to have nightmares of God killing me. It seriously scarred me as a child and is the sole reason I have hung on to such beliefs for the longest time. It doesn't just offend me. It pisses me off.

I used to feel the same way, that God struck a tally mark every time I did something wrong, and being raised Catholic was taught that if you die with an unconfessed mortal sin on your soul, then you go straight to hell, doesn't matter about all the good things you did in your life. You could be a kind, caring person, but play with your willy one night and then get hit by a car the next morning, you're down there burning with the devil for eternity. I'm just glad I was able to overcome such nonsense brainwashing without any neuroses.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
