Lucky you. I have way too many repressed memories I want to forget.
The main take away I have is, a very prejudiced view of Christians. Which isn't always fair to people, no one person is the same and all that nonsense. For the most part I remember having friends turn on me because I was a 'distraction from God'. Like one girl broke our friendship via email, for that exact reason. I also remember being treated like shit by most of the older people at each of the churches.
Someone needs to get on that and make those.
He hates the colour purple lol is all.
And she was bad because she was a whore.

@Another Movie Addict: Its okay, *pat pat* I understand too well how you feel since my family was basically split up multiple times because "God first, even before family" I am extremely bitter about that. But I try to not let it affect how I speak to my relatives in the present.
@Saeyra: It's okay, I try to not think about it too much really.
You are probably better off without friends like that anyways :vanora_smile: For some people religion just hurts more than it helps. Its not the "cure all" that people think it is. Like everything else it can be used for both good and evil depending on the person.
Mostly that kind of devotion makes me think of someone with an abusive partner.
I dunno.. Cult springs to my mind everytime. I have been lucky in my life to dodge abusive relationships even before they start. Huh. I guess religion was useful for something after all..
Lol I wasn't so lucky, even with religion.
Damn..Sorry man. *hugs* I hope your future partner is kind, wonderful and respects you. You are a gem.
Life happens yo, and I'm pretty cool being solo for a while. Was in a 7 very long year relationship, then a year long relationship, then a year and half something, I'm good for now. XD
I just got a massive sour punch to the mouth. Wasn't even a lemon jelly belly, was a white grape one.
@Another Movie Addict: did you get a sour bag of jelly beans?
If you can’t say something nice, Don’t say anything at all!
Religion basically tore my family apart. There is 1 very religious aunt and, when you do something that isn't allowed by god in her eyes, you're doomed.
She told me so many times that I'm going to hell that I'm actually starting to look forward to it.
Join the club, I can count on my hands the years my family was complete. Every single member of my immediate family has spent time in a monastery at some point in their lives. They just either up and leave or stick their children in it without giving them a choice.
Always ping me please. I can't count the years on one hand. For as long as I'm alive, the family was never complete.
