American fundamentalists especially, since I've heard that there are some absolutely wild beliefs getting passed around in those circles. Would love to hear from other folks though as well, since I've only had an outsider's view on this. I've heard that some of them believe that anyone who isn't religious is incapable of empathy, and of course all the Israel death cult stuff, but I'd like to know more.

Not necessarily dunking on Christianity as a whole here, even if I have some grave misgivings with how proselytization and child induction works in religion in general, this is specifically about borderline cultish stuff.

    Grew up Catholic. I never really believed most of what they were saying, I just remember mass being the most boring, painful ordeal ever. Every Sunday we wasted a full hour that felt like a year listening to some pointless bullshit. Every Sunday for 17 years.

      you're lucky, I had to do a full 2 and a half hours and I was a server. The only time I ever got to leave early was when I passed out at the altar from the incense burning and because I'd pulled two all nighters in a row preparing for an exam after not paying any attention at all. I also got sent a card once saying I was allowed to not come to serving because I'd been hit by a car and was in hospital
