Yes, every second of my childhood I thought I was going to say or do something wrong to fall into hell

What a horrible thing to do to a child. From what you've said about your mother on this site I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Peace

That’s a great movie...

Sad that happened to you. Parents are supposed to protect and comfort. She must have been so frightened when she was young.

Your mother should be arrested for child abuse.

When that choir started up you knew shit was about to get real. ?

I loved all the stuff about the Thorn Corporation being written into it, I was 17 when it came out, gave me goosebumps, creepy kid.

It is a great movie though..so is Omen II..

Had nuns in grade school, they still freak me out, evil Penguins!

Nope.

When I was involved in it and studying to be a minister we all knew that this was true. Evangelicals have been matching up things in Revelation that point to the antichrist like forever. Pentecostals are the worst. I should know because I used to be one. Today I have no more faith in the bible than I do a comic book. At 16 and 17 it scared me to death.
Theists never give up. A religious friend of mine from the old days is trying to get me to look at the volcanoes in Hawaii as being something that was in the bible. No way! It makes me want to start laughing. Imagine "and there shall be volcanoes and rumblings of volcanoes."
But somehow we all just know that there is a child somewhere with 666 stamped into his head.

I was freaked out by The Exorcist, and I was 18!

My sister came to stay with me after attending religious day school and woke me up crying because demons were making her want to listen to rock music. I told my mom maybe her choice of school was a mistake.

Luckily, no. My parents were liberal United Methodist missionaries, very tolerant and pragmatic.
