PANIC BUTTON CHRISTIANS

They believe it is a Christianity that is in the New Testament; that it has always been there, that in the drift of ages it was lost through disuse and neglect, and that this benefactor has found it and given it back to men, turning the night of life into day, its terrors into myths, its lamentations into songs of emancipation and rejoicing. Mary Baker Eddy , circa [64]. Bow , New Hampshire. Chestnut Hill , Massachusetts. Lulu Blackman student of Eddy's , [87]. The basis of Dr. Quimby's theory is that there is no intelligence, no power or action in matter of itself, that the spiritual world to which our eyes are closed by ignorance or unbelief is the real world, that in it lie all the causes for every effect visible in the natural world, and that if this spiritual life can be revealed to us, in other words if we can understand ourselves, we shall then have our happiness or misery in our own hands I have demonstrated on myself in an injury occasioned by a fall, that it [her healing method] did for me what surgeons could not do.

Laurie pointed out, however, that "for 37 very long minutes, the people wondered what was going to happen. He said that he saw reports of people "running and screaming in the streets," with some parents putting their children into storm drains. But it brought up a very important issue — what if you knew you only had moments to live?

He then said that in a scenario where he does not have much time, he would attempt to simplify the Gospel in just a few sentences:. And if you'll turn from your sins and ask Christ to come into your life, God will forgive you of all of your sins, and you can go to Heaven when you die. Laurie warned viewers that one day, everyone is going to be told or realize that their final moments are coming soon. It could be a car accident, it could be something suddenly coming your way, saying 'you better get right with God, are you ready?

I finished school and began a life on the road, traveling aimlessly around the country, working an endless series of construction, restaurant, retail, factory and day-labor jobs. Yet despite the drugs, sex and foul language that now consumed my daily existence a not-uncommon lifestyle for young Christians away from home for the first time , my faith in God remained on life support. There was too much at stake to flippantly reject it, no matter how many unanswered questions rattled in my brain. I clung to the idea that the rapture was still imminent, but my conviction was weak and I was desperate for something to keep my beliefs afloat.

Or a giant beast to rise from the water. The world kept turning. Just as it did in when society did not collapse from Y2K. They were young, idealistic Christians when they had me, and like so many religious parents, only had the best of intentions of rearing me in their faith. It was Easter Sunday and I asked whether she regretted exposing me to the terrifying prophecies of the Bible at a young age.

Would I couch things differently today, and not have them be so hellfire and brimstone? You were such a scared little boy. I would say that some of the most emotionally rapturous moments of my life were had in Pentecostal church services, where the loud and hypnotic music, speaking in tongues, primal dancing, shaking and collapsing to the ground, caused explosions of sensory transcendence in my little body. Home ownership, marriage, kids and retirement savings all require a faith that tomorrow will be here in the morning.

While my head can rationalize that one year will probably follow the next, my heart cannot handle anything more than one day at a time. I am still plagued with chronic nightmares, which my therapist says are a common symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder. The idea that an extreme religious upbringing could be a form of psychological torture was new to me.

In some respects, I feel like I got off easy. Then I take a deep breath, reminding the frightened child inside me that he is safe, that the world may be full of uncertainty and pain and confusion, but we are here, now, and there are no locusts with the heads of lions likely to come out of the Earth any time soon. Halloween with the Hell House For any child raised under the dark bubble of religious fundamentalism, moments like this are not uncommon.
