“Look at the range of our students the children suffering from mental health issues, suicide, anxiety, depression all these things are off the chart and my heart goes out to these kids,” one resident at the meeting said. “More than ever we need a God in this world and this proposal in the opposite direction.”
Being indoctrinated into Christianity at an early age gave me undue anxiety throughout my youth. The Christian response to suicidal thoughts is, “don’t commit suicide or else you’ll go to hell when you die.” Have mental issues? Don’t seek treatment - prayer will cure you! Are you feeling gay or transgender? That’s a sin. Stop being sinful! #ThanksImCured
