or even child abuse???? my cousins grandmother on her other side of the family told her she was going to hell when she was just a little kid and now she lives her life in fear and shes paraniod.obviously psycology this messed her up in the brain and this grandmother should be persecuted. but i bet youve all had it done to you therefore you couldnt possibly look at this like us atheists do.sick and twisted. so isnt this a form of abuse?

yes, it IS child abuse, and many of the people who grow up with religion but abandon it later end up harboring much resentment toward their parents and teachers.

It depends on how u would say that to a child. The Grandmother definaitly sounds like she belongs on one of those nurse filled retirement homes.

This is so common in that hateful religion that says "Oh God loves you,unless you f*ck up" what kind of sick message is that,especially to a child..I agree it should be against the law to teach such slanderous fear.This is damaging to a child-I should know I was forced to believe all of that crap in catechism--But I learned not to believe in such nonsense-thank GAWD

I definitely believe it is sick and abusive to threaten a child with eternal hell fire. It's bad enough when they do it to adults who can reason and figure out that it simply isn't true.

Yes, it is a form of abuse. Emotional abuse.

Only if they're telling you they are going to SEND you to hell.

No, it's not. Because no human could actually act on that threat.
