re: #230 Mattand

Growing up Catholic, the amount of fear and guilt that is instilled in you is frightening. Love God or else. It’s like living in fear from a vengeful ex who can transmute the laws of the universe.

I think the RCC is a lot less monolithic than is sometimes appreciated. Growing up, fire and brimstone and fear were nearly absent. Certainly nothing like what some of my evangelical friends heard.

Guilt was still there of course, because let’s be serious.
