You don't know me, yet you make these accusations against me. Why?
In the few interactions we have had, you have actively defended a death cult. This behavior harms you, me, and everyone else. I consider it a sign of dangerous unintelligence when someone pretends that magic is real, a staggering lack of reading comprehension to fail to recognize the bible as fiction.
I read your song a while ago. If I may- what did John Stowe and Christine do? It appears you also say that your parents physically abused you as an infant.
Thanks. Yes, they hit my brothers and me when we were young. They stopped when we got older, presumably because they feared we'd start to hit back. My parents violently forced me to attend church three times a week, where we were yelled at by our southern baptist pastor that we would all burn forever in hell if we didn't accept the "love" of Jesus. I have been suicidal all my life.
I wasn't going to accept Jesus until my parents forced me to go to a summer camp. There I was told that if I went to hell, my parents in heaven would miss me. So I "accepted Jesus" and all the abusive bullshit that came with it. I believed in god for decades, but it made me a shitty person. God is your own ego given divine authority.
This is not okay.
I agree. But it's the norm in the bible belt. People laugh at me for pointing out how bad it was, people insist I am weak for crying out instead of acknowledging that it was child abuse. They want to keep spreading their cult until it kills us all because they think they're going to heaven. So I push back on magical thinking, but especially christianity, whenever I can.
You also said they worshipped a different god to the bible?
Everyone does. The god of the bible is inconsistent with the god of the bible, so each believer makes up their own version of him and pretends it's the same.
Specifically, I believed in a loving god, but my parents embodied the cruel and violent tyrant of the old testament.
