@SrRochardBunson Started fairly typical evangelical, but went into deep into charismatic in college. It wasn't great before, but it that really damaging. Just a complete break with cause and effect.
Like you, I still find the splinters of old thoughts still around, years later.
Very interesting. I was raised hardcore Chuch of God. For those not familiar, it is a VERY conservative, #pentecostal and #charismatic denomination REALLY into "the Gifts of the Holy Spirit".
We were there twice on Sunday and at least Wednesday night. I think the part that still sticks with me the most is the #ReligiousTrauma caused by their belief in hell. I legitimately thought that if I was a perfect kid & said a cuss word immediately before getting hit by a bus, that I would suffer and burn in #hell for #eternity.
WTF?!?
@SrRochardBunson @AdmiralFrosty Also I must apologize for sending what is essentially a Christian tract in response but at the time I read it, in the late 1990's, I still was more or less trying to cling to the Christain faith even as I was finding myself more at odds with it. So at that point I would not have read anything outwardly hostile to Christianity, but that tract got to me. I don't agree with the conclusion anymore but it was something that got to me at that point in my life.
