    No, not convincing at all. That’s why they go after children with this bs at the youngest age possible. It was fucking terrifying when I was around 11 or so and started accepting that I didn’t believe anything they told me at church.

      Yep. I tried harder and harder to convince myself I believed so that I wouldn’t burn in hell for eternity if I died. I wonder why I have anxiety? I mean it’s totally healthy to be a literal child and trying to gaslight yourself into believing in something that makes no sense so you won’t be tortured for eternity, right?
