Deb CalettiThey say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
About This Quote
Religion as a whole is a very scary subject. It's not as if people are going to be given the choice of whether or not they want to practice some religion, but some religions have been so strict that they have made it impossible for people to do things their way. For example, if you're a devout Christian and your family disapproves of your desire to drink alcohol, you're forced to stop drinking. And sometimes, if you're not "good enough" in their eyes, then they won't even let you be baptized.
