We had another member recently who told his story where he was also at the point of suicide before somehow realising it was all bullshit. Armoured skeptic from YouTube actually tried to kill himself to get to heaven.
These ingrained "truths" about gods judgement affect actions, sometimes fatally.
My point about church is that there is zero reason for a young child to be there other than to reinforce indoctrination. They are too young to understand what is going on, or to comprehend the dog and pony show being put on which is sending bad messages to them. It's not appropriate for young children, in my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback though, and I respect the fact that some of you do not agree with me
While the DSM doesn't directly call religion a disorder, there is a huge correlation between religion and psychiatric problems. And injecting this shit right at key developmental points is often intentional. Religious leaders know this. Jesus knew it:
Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
How it is not obvious to any sane adult how damaging indoctrination is to children is beyond me. It's well within the realm of common sense.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
