The whole thing is ridiculous. I am so over the power of religion. My lived experience is through a rigidly Catholic family and 12 years of stern, rigorous , rule filled Catholic school (also mostly n the 60's and a little 70's). Fortunately I was released to a public college . I was a curious, open, impressionable, smart college kid. It didn't take me long to drop the whole church thing (literally by the end of my first college quarter... by the time I left hs, that religious foundation was crumbling).
I wish human beings could find a way other than religion (or, at least, religion that impacts other people) to ease their anxieties and their need to control things.
Christianity is a lie. They are just doing what comes natural to liars and cons. You can't save them.

LOL
