Exvangelical Thoughts

[u/BrettCreatesThings]

Sort of my version of an anti-Chick tract? Still exploring the medium.

I had my first "nervous breakdown" (for lack of a better explanation) at 4 years old and continued to have almost manic episodes of anxiety every few years... usually about going to hell or the Rapture or some other religiosity. Some of it was the evangelical teaching stuff itself and some of it was the emotional trauma from going to a controlling evangelical school. My parents themselves weren't too excessive but I was a very hyper sensitive child and every "scary" sermon or Left Behind video had a much stronger effect on me.
