I do see it was written as "PTSD-esque" and referred to the trigger responses. From that we got other posts that talked about PTSD and that's when I commented.
There is no doubt that religion has cause a lot of hurt and a lot of pain. It has for me. But how we overcome that, IMO, is relative to the depth and strength of our foundation. I was raised in church; born and bred in the UPC. So my foundation was stronger than someone who wasn't raised in church and had to experience hurt and pain in church. That isn't to boast by any means. I'm not saying I was more spiritual, quite the opposite at times; just that I had more good experiences/memories/lessons that helped me get past the bad.
