Sorry you had such a bad time with religion. Our experiences really do affect how we perceive the world. I also had a bad experience with it growing up, rejected it, became an atheist, then really experienced God later on and it changed me. There really is beauty in the Bible and the life of Christ. Real hope, real redemption for broken humanity. You have to separate Christianity from the people that abuse it for control, manipulation, and power. Those things are not principles that the Bible teaches, in fact Jesus condemns those actions explicitly.
- TameAntelope 5y agoI did not have a bad experience with religion growing up (I had little/no experience with religion growing up), but the manipulation I'm referencing is available for anyone to read about, as the history of the Catholic church is not private information. The beauty in Christianity is co-opted and stolen from the beauty of the universe in an effort to control others. Very little about Christianity is uniquely beautiful, in my opinion.
