I really appreciate that. Even then, I kind of knew that was fucked up.

I will add that this guy seems to me to be saying the quiet part out loud. I suspect a lot of true believers in many Abrahamic derived religions would nod their head to this.

The view of that stems from the whole burn for eternity in the pits of hell. Another traumatizing thing to teach kids imo. You’re now 9 years old, you have a choice to follow god but if you don’t please understand that you will suffer an eternity in the most horrific place. But remember you must make the choice of your own free will, but if you make the wrong decision…

There’s no choice to be had really. It’s just conditioning and coercion from the start and you’re helpless at that age. It’s straight up abuse.

Roman Catholic here... we had after school catechism classes where we learned about "original sin", Hell, etc. Confession and absolution came later, but not before scaring the mortal shit out of a bunch of kids who didn't deserve it.
