When someone starts god bothering me, I just ask "Which one are you referring to, I recognise them all (as complete BS (don't tell them that part though ))?" Usually does the trick.

When I was about ten years old a friend and I were told that we had to attend Sunday school. On the first and last day on the way to Sunday school we dallied, allowed ourselves to become distracted and arrived late because we both sensed it was not a place to spend time, listening to a repetition of what we heard at school during the week. When we arrived the big Gothic doors were closed. However, from inside we could hear a preacher saying, ‘there shall be a wailing and gnashing of teeth.’ Wide eyed my friend and I looked at each other and I said, ‘fuck that!’ Then he said lets go down by the river for a walk. Later, we found a place to hide our fishing gear and every Sunday it was a day to look forward to as we went fishing. Eventually, our parents found out but nothing happened to us.

Yes. I cannot tell you the freedom I have felt since I realized it was all bullshit

@abyers1970 One thing they do get right is forgiveness. You need to accept what happened and not get eaten up by the need for revenge. So just accept they are religious twats and you can forgive them by understanding that without that experience, you would not be where you are now. Time to look forward, not back.
Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck with it all.
