Re: SO. How about religion, eh?

Oh, *hugs*.

I was raised Evangelical Protestant science isn't real isn't Jesus a wonderful capitalist and even now, I cannot shake a lot of what I was raised with. I do not believe it anymore, but I'm deeply afraid of hell and pretty sure I'm going there because I can't stop that nagging voice in the back of my mind that condemns my choices and my life and who I am.

I completely sympathize. I dont' know how to stop it though so I have no advice.

The non-denominational Judeo-Christian sect I was born and raised in decided to go Evangelical Protestant a few decades back. These people frustrate me no end (I'm the "help me they hate books now" anon) and I cannot begin to fathom why formerly well-read, and deeply-researched Christians who acted "as the Bereans did" have now turned into "Whatever Dear Leader says is right! Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus!" muppets. (Killing two birds with one stone, as they're going for worshipping Him in vain AND vain repetitions in one go.)

They believed in hell for a while (I still don't, never did, and the scholarship has always backed us up on this; along with trinitarianism being a pagan insert post-Constantine), then they didn't, then they did, now Dear Leader's latest missive (which none of the faithful pay the least bit of attention to, but which all the Evangelicals hang off every word of), conveniently posted in an out-of-the-way place no one is going to see it, there's no hell again. (Well. There never was. But you get the picture.)

TL;DR: Your comment explains a lot about the severely misguided people in my own church, thanks.

It's so frustrating. Like you say, I would have an easier time understanding if my family was no teeth ignorant hillbillies, but my mom has a ph.d. and my daddy has an M.A. They have gotten progressively more conservative over the years; I blame it on the encroachment of religion into the Republican party and the conflation of Republican party ideals with Christian ideals (hint: they are not the same LOL!).

I don't know what makes educated, reasonable people lose their minds. Sometimes I wonder if my family was always as crazy as I think they are now and I just couldn't see it because I was a kid and not perceptive in that way.
