For every story of the wonders of religion, there's a dozen where it's done far more harm than good.
Sorry to hear about your tragic past.
Thank you.
I have managed to have a very good life in spite of the rough start.
I have not set foot in a church except for weddings and funerals in the last 45 years.
I also have the satisfaction of knowing that if their is a hell, which we were assured very single day that we would burn in, then my grandfather is rotting there because if ever there was man who deserved to burn it was him.
What really peed me off with joanies reply was that she managed to turn my experience into yet another excuse to "cop bash".
Wonder what Joanie's bible/church/pastor says about constant cop-bashing rhetoric?
Surely it's not advocated in her religion?
But then again, her god's so conflicted, he preaches death and destruction, then peace and love in the next breath - no wonder theists are so confused!
Glad to see you've put the past behind you, too. I too, had a sexually abusive grandfather. Luckily, I grew up fast and decked him - what a GREAT feeling!
