Quick Thought in meh...

Listening to Bruce Springsteen on Fresh Air. He was talking about religion, church, Catholicism as a child and how dark the church seemed.

Children…I really and sincerely don’t believe that they can be cognizant of who God is, what He requires of them, and or why. When a kid hears things like, “You need to be this way or that way or else you’ll go to hell,” and then you give them this depiction that hell is firery and hot all the time, that is the legal definition of duress. LOL I can’t think of how many times I’ve had dreams or have been scared over my childhood in church thinking about the devil and hell and what’s bad and wrong. Then in the next breath talk about how good God is and make him seem like this magical being.

People set folks up bitter disappointment like all the time.

That’s part of what’s wrong with me now. Shame over things out of my control, shame over a lot of stuff. Lack of self confidence being worried about what everyone thinks.

::smh::

Crazy.

Oh well…
