I think perhaps the thing I got punished for the most as a kid could be boiled down to "not being calm".

My parents' Christian beliefs said that even *if* someone was being cruel or unfair, the responsibility of a Christian was basically to tolerate it without complaint.

So if I got upset & raised my voice & wouldn't become calm again, I was "sinning". It did not matter what happened to reach that situation.

Ah, yes. Im familiar with that branch of christainity.

I can abuse and assault you, and because I did, means you deserved it. Of course, if youre caught, youre supposed to say sorry to the sky, but who really give a fuck 🤷‍♀️

Complaining about it? You MUST have did something to deserve it, so "its your cross to bare". Complaining is an 'affront to YHVH's (spit) decision to punish you'.

This is exactly how these fuckers think :(
