    Imagine being taught that when you think, that voice in your head is god speaking. Now understand that ANYTHING god says or does is righteous…never trust a christian indeed. Its literally induced schizophrenia and narcissism.

      You guys were taught that it was god?? I was taught it was always satan or some lesser demon lying to me.

        I don’t have a voice but that sounds scary. Are all Christians taught that? I’ve never heard of that.

          I don’t think they’re all taught that, I think my church was just paranoid and insane, tbh.

          And they never outright said it was the entire “voice”, but that pointed to so many individual things, I felt like it was. It was easier to reject any kind of negative emotions or complicated thoughts or unfamiliar opinions as some kind of outside attack than to really sit with them.

          I guess it’s not really relevant to the conversation at hand, other than pointing out that christians can be all different types of dysfunctional :p
