[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My non religious father was visiting his uncle who happened to be in a Catholic Nursing Home, an elderly resident rolled up to my dad and asked him if he was Catholic and my dad replied no, he wasn’t Catholic. This elderly woman looked him straight in the eyes and said ‘Sir, you’re going to hell’ my dad laughed at her. I’ve had Catholic supervisors allow other Catholics to leave for mass during work and made it clear to everyone that she preferred the Catholics. She had Catholic saint figures all over the office along with Catholic brochures. She wouldn’t even let me leave early for an ultrasound when I was 37 weeks pregnant. I’ve had evangelical coworkers tell me I needed to be ‘saved’ etc. This is simply insane. How is this helpful to society?[/quote]

It is so NOT helpful to society that I’m currently writing a book specifically about this type of insidious harm to society.

On another note, I’ve seen my once loving child go from making handmade cards for me for Mother’s Day (even as a young adult) to only filling my card with Bible verses about how I need to be saved or I’m going to hell and choosing evil. It’s horrendous to watch someone you love disappear into this ideology. His particular sect is taught to “revel and celebrate when you see evil in the world for it means Christ will be returning soon”

Pretty hard to sleep at night knowing there are really people that believe this stuff and know of its harm. [/quote]
