I vividly remember one summer when I was very young, I was at a summer camp at a local church. I remember a teenage boy lecturing us with a puppet show on how sinning would condemn us all to hell, a “dark void” where I would “be alone forever.”
Me, being a freaked-out 5-year-old, bolted out of the room bawling. I felt a straitjacket of morality wrapping itself around me. I found myself dreading damnation above all else.
