The NT is where the Revelations Of St. John are, Armageddon and the lake of fire, and all that jolly rot.
When a young child lives in fear and has nightmares about the ill garbage being taught to him, that hurts.
Damn straight, but that's how you get the next generation of victims...scare the children into submission and hope it sticks for life. I think children should be free from religion, and then allowed to make their choice as an adult.
Man, you and I had drastically different ways that Christianity was presented or approached to us, lol, methinks.
Many of Paul's letters to some churches became scripture, lol. Imagine if you wrote your penpal and centuries later, it became considered sacred to a religion, lol.
Yup, 1 and 2 Corinthians and the like. Many scriptures from those books are used often by the cult I grew up in, especially the ones about "womens place in the congregation". Barbaric and innane.
My grandmother told me when i was about ten before going to the fair, be careful of the Carny folk. They take kids and then raise them as carnys in their ride huts. LMAO, god rest her soul, she was fuckin crule/funny
