Also very important to note that these kids are ALSO taught that every single person who lives or has lived will spend an eternity in a state of eternal, conscious torment in hell if they never accepted Jesus as their personal savior really fucks kids up. I actually once had a mild mental breakdown over this which at least led to my deconversion.
I think one of my worst memories was being with my grandmother on her death bed as she desperately sobbed that she was going to go to hell
Its a marker of how manipulative it is. Her husband was bastard by the end, never did anything, bleed money from every scam out there. They separated a few months before it happened. She felt so guilty, talked about how she broke she broke her promise to god when she stopped loving him. All this misery just so shity men can treat their wives like property and shity bosses can treat their employees like property and shity cops can treat us like property. Because they know some people will rack themselves with guilt for the impropriety of seeing any other possibility, that god will punish them for wanting their lives to be better.

Yeah that's the bastard
Same thing with one of my grandmothers, but it was my dad who was there for it. Divorced Catholic.
