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.

    Definitely got a lot of the "you have to hate yourself or you're a sinner" sort of thing. Was told that cumming in my sleep due to not masturbating as a horny-ass 14 year old was only ok if I wasn't dreaming of women. Tried to dream of Jesus to cum instead of sex. Still can't get horny thinking of Jesus, only demand-side Jesus does it for me

      Had a pastor talk about how he didn't let his (at the time adult) sons close their bedroom doors at night [so they don't cum obv]

      One of them eventually got married at 30 to someone he knew for 6 months.
