As a secretly gay boy in the 1970s, Jesus’s imminent return terrified me. I couldn’t look at the clouds without suffering pangs of extreme anxiety.

I knew my friends and loved ones would be taken up bodily to heaven and I would be alone, left to the tortures of the Antichrist and his UN helmeted minions.

I believe this with all of my heart because every adult I knew told me it was true.

This is one of the reasons that I hate Evangelical Christians with a fierce burning passion. As you pointed my out so well in this article, they are scum with disgusting faith beliefs.
