An incredibly thought provoking piece. I went to college with a large number of people who came from backgrounds similar to what you describe. This helped me understand them on a much deeper level. How fear was/is used to ensure compliance is incredibly disturbing. My family attended church fairly regularly when I was a kid but if the church we attended ever had kids spit pop into bowls to gross them out about kissing; I’m almost certain that would have been the last time we attended that church. Maybe it was the church I attended or maybe it was how my parents explained stuff said at church to my brother and I, but fear was never a part of church for me, nor should it be for anyone.
