Indoctrination in guilt and shame
This is a good reason to be against "nice" "moderate" kinds of Christianity such as Roman Catholicism - well, Roman Catholicism in particular. Go and read Miranda Celeste Hale's piece, "A dirty little girl, her head hanging in shame." This shows how the Church turns the ordinary behaviour of good people into the production of shame and guilt. This is one reason why the Church merits our opposition.
