    The Bible did fuck me up as a kid.

    But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

    Matthew 5:28-5:29

    Reading this as a super religious + horny 12 year old was terrifying. I felt extreme guilt for not maiming myself for a few years before I finally realized religion was bullshit.

      My wife was raised Southern Baptist, she has a lot of sex hang ups, despite having been out of the church for about 30 years.
