What does that have to do with religion?

I guess the only thing represented by Religion is the negative stuff. You can go to Bible school and they can tell you are full of wonder, intelligent, beautiful, courageous, strong, and (to paraphrase) full of potential to do good. In a way it is like a drill sergeant, it breaks you down and then builds you up. It makes you Gung ho to go out and fight the evils in the world. Not through war, but through righting the wrongs in the world. Like feeding the hungry. Forgiving and forgetting.

I had christianity forced down my throat for a long time. I've been to bible school. My Uncle was the Pastor. My Grandmother made me go to church 2-3 times a week. Organized religion is the earliest form of fear mongering, but the elements of peace are intertwined into so much bullshit, it's almost impossible to distinguish between what's absurd and what's cold hard fact.

I grew up in a Christian household as well. My family still thinks I'm Christian because I don't want them to worry about me going to imaginary hell and getting butt****ed by the devil.
