[quote=Anonymous]My conservative evangelical upbringing instilled a fear of a God who judged me as such a horrible person that his son had to endure torture and death so that I wouldn't go to hell. But only if I said a prayer earnestly enough asking Jesus to be in my heart and save me. That God was quite scary. I consider it a form of spiritual abuse. I am no longer afraid of God, but it's been a long road to get here. From rejecting the God of my youth, to losing faith altogether, through despair. Then finally experiencing grace, love that requires no moral perfection or special prayers said in just the right way, I can now say I am indeed saved by Jesus. [/quote]
