At age 5 I was traumatized by an End Times movie

My church showed me a horror flick that left me terrified for all who are not yet saved

    The dark side of "being saved"

    I suggest that, in general, those who choose the "left behind" version of Jesus's love do not feel particularly good about themselves, and are in fact getting revenge on all those who they perceive as having slighted them, 'disrespected' them and their intelligence, were prettier, more popular, etc., etc. ...

    What crueler form of punishment can be devised than choosing a religious view that saves only yourself and those who think as you do.
