[quote=Anonymous]I was raised catholic in the 60s and 70s, church every Sunday and religious instruction on Saturday morning. I realized very early it was all just people trying to make sense of their place in the world. As a young child, I read a lot of fairy tales and myths and realized that the bible was just my culture's fairy tales and myths. My church had one stained glass window that had a devil, huge purple wings outstretched, with a woman in front of him kneeling and praying in fear. I stared at it during mass, the stuff of my nightmares. My childhood jewish friend later told me that all of the dead men on the crosses in my house freaked her out. My son, not raised with any of this imagery saw my sister's church calendar that had a picture of Abraham about to kill his son. "What is that man doing to that boy" he asked in horror. Some of the imagery in the catholic church is really horrific. [/quote]
