Overzealous Christian Idiots

Tweet

First off, don't freak out and think I am a Christian hater. I am nothing of the kind. However, this story must be told of the stupidity of the overzealous. I have been attending a parenting class at my church each Wednesday. It has been steadily getting a little more like a nag fest on my individual group teachers' part. However, I let it go. I am here to learn how to be a good parent. I don't need them to do that. Well, the weekend before I was overcome by a severe migraine headache that lasted 3 days. It was so severe that I had to stay in the hospital. My husband wanted every ounce of reassurance he could get so he turned to them for guidance and strength. They told him that I was cursed with a demon and that my home needed to be exorcised. He prayed with me on the third night and I was very quickly healed from the pain. I won't deny that I felt God's presence that I night. I will deny the presence of a demon though. Upon returning to my class, I came to discover that somehow the class found out about my involvement with WICCA many years ago. According to them I had cursed my family and also had a family curse from my mother which caused the migraines. They immediately surrounded me and laid there hands in fervent prayer. I wept because I felt violated, betrayed, and angry. I walked out of that class bewildered in what to do. I went to the nearest open field, got out of my car, and screamed to the Heavens. I got down on my knees and asked God to grant me peace from my anger. I immediately felt better. Since then I have felt the need to tell my story and to caution those against moments like this. This can also corrupt the soul. God forgave me many years ago. He forgives me even now. GOd forgives...period. It is no man's place to say we are cursed.
