Looking at another religious based question I saw. I got to thinking. Why does religion, specifically Christianity followers, focus on negativity and threats. It's always about sins, judgement, feeling terrible about yourself. I only seem to see dedicated followers focus on absolutely damning statements.
I don't go to Church but I know the following from just keeping my ears open.
Examples:
"Suicide is a ticket to hell" no matter the reason and I don't care if you are retarted or were brutally beaten, raped, and shot 5 times and will now live life blind, unable to walk, needing 24/7 monitoring, etc...
"You are a sinner", just admit it and ask for forgiveness. Doesn't matter if your a monk who worships Jesus and has never had sex and you spent the majority of your life loving, donating your time for goos causes, and teaching others. You had one bad thought today, so you are a sinner.
Why is negativity the focus of Christianity?
