Fr. I was so grumpy when I thought I believed in God because I’d gaslit myself into thinking I deserved to go to hell for not being able to force myself to believe “enough”. Super healthy mindset for an 8 year old right? Right??

Yep, my one grandma would do this, it was so irritating to go anywhere with her.

Yep, I believed all this crap, right up until I could really think and started asking questions. Then my faith was suddenly the issue and it wasn’t that they couldn’t answer my questions, it was that if I stopped asking I would find the answers. 🙄

Free speech is about the government not being able to restrict your speech. Guess what? Lemmy isn’t the government.
