Reply #7: Religion is the knot at the end of the rope for many [View All]

[JuniperLea]

I was raised Fundy. Yes, it has scarred me:) I have a cousin who is a missionary, and her mother, my aunt, tells me to only watch Fox news because they are the only ones who tell the truth. This goes deep. My aunt lives in another state, so I don't have to avoid these discussions much. When I was visiting her last, I went to church with her and I nearly had to leave when the pastor led a prayer for The Shrubbery, and to ask God to show all these maniac peace protesters the light so they will see how their actions are hurting our country. I never heard political prayer before. I was physically ill for a couple of days after that. Somehow they forget all about the "thou shalt not kill" part. Mass hysteria and mass hypnosis is what I think! Bastards!
