Anyone suffering from things they learned in the church?
#50
RE: Anyone suffering from things they learned in the church?
Luckily I only attended (and still do) church for traditional ceremonies and rituals such as baptisms and funerals, I don't recall attending any other event b sides those two. My mother taught me the basic principles and ideas of Christianity, but I was never severely indoctrinated or sent to church for religious 'education', and as a result I became an atheist at the age of 14, and I suspect I was already a practical atheist since age 11 or 12. Because of this, I never really had any subsequent problems after quitting faith, contrary to many people who still struggle with some problems. I feel sorry for what happened to you, it must have been hard, and they still say church is a good place for kids Thinking

My mum never taught me that sex is abnormal, yes she told me it is naturally a sin but an inevitable one, and the most normal and natural act that happens between humans and animals.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
