Whats up with that? This scientologist sperm found this scientologist egg and hence we have a scientologist? Born and raised not to question. (Note replace scientologist with whatever belief)

I was born into Christianity. Speaking of being indoctrinated into a belief system as a child, I was raised on what southeners call "fireworks" preaching. Our baptist preachers would condemn me to hell for being seduced by a doctrine of demons. In other words, any belief that went up against organized belief. For example, if you question the literal resurrection of Jesus, you should repent from questioning orthodoxy. Who am I to question orthodoxy?! I can hear them shouting, "you are still in your sin!" I have honestly developed a dislike for Christianity and its rigid belief system, but I suppose the problem is with me. However, why has Christianity caused me so much suffering? It gives me only more anxiety, because I always worried if my belief was right or wrong. The only type of Christianity I seem to be able to associate with is the liberal one. Most Christians just can't accept that either, so I have recently begun looking into other religions and beliefs.

This would be two fish slapping, as Snoopy's avatar is also a fish.
