Guilt has always been a problem for me. I still feel guilt, but am not focussing on it too much at the moment... Like, I feel guilt e.g. about how I spend Sundays, but at the moment I'm still rejoicing in not doing any religious things on Sundays too so the guilt is kind of swamped by this delightfully rebellious feeling lol... :D

The idea that I am forgiven eternally, the clean slate idea etc. Only later I found out that now I have to be perfect, even in areas I have no inclination to be that and that it wasn't a help at all.

I agree. It is so wrong that Christianity offers this clean slate and then the Pentecostal church tells us we have to be perfect! It's like the very opposite of what it's meant to be.

Symptoms: ...being mean and/or judgmental to friends, family, co-workers or total strangers.

I wonder if that means that the judgementalism of Pentes towards everybody else stems from their own guilt?
