“Religious abuse represents a profound violation of personal autonomy and psychological safety within spiritual contexts. This comprehensive guide delves deep into the complex landscape of religious abuse, offering insights, support, and strategies for recognition, prevention, and healing.”
Before we continue with Claude, you must know that the karmicons, karmic cons, from the Evil Karmic organization, created all religions, gods, and faiths. They were authors of all incarnational scripts for forced incarnations of humans from the higher planets to human babies from the lower planets. Religions and religious abuse were part of the script. The believers are programmed to believe in gods despite the lack of evidence for their existence. Faith itself is abusive, harmful, and destructive.
