I am scared of nuns

75% Normal
8 Comments

I come from a very strong Catholic family(my fathers side) it's a bit complicated but I'm not all that religious so are a few of my other family members.

My family has been Catholic for generations going to Catholic schools and I even have a few distant family members who were/are priests and nuns.

I didn't have the luxury(thank goodness) of going to a Catholic school like my father and my other family members but I have been of course to Catholic related things.

And while I will say that I never trusted priests due to all the sex scandals going on nuns have always terrified me.

Mainly because I have heard to many things from cousins who have gone to Catholic schools or have dealt with nuns more so then I would and they sound like horrible people.

I instinctively try not to be disrespectful to nuns out of fear I'm overly nice to them because I am terrified they seem nice but it's clearly an act is it normal to fear them and not be religious.

I mean I know they can't do anything to me I'm a grown man but I always feel uncomfortable around them and their smiles make me sick.

    Nuns are creepy and love to give out corporal punishment. I don't like them at all.

    You have every reason not to trust them and to feel uncomfortable around them. They may not have sexually abused the children like the priests, but they were still just as horrific when it came to physical and mental abuse. They were (and are) also extremely manipulative in the way they make their victims believe it's their own fault and that they deserve the abuse, like any scumbag child abuser. The only difference is that they pray as well.

    I have known a few Catholic familiarise the years. It seems they all have like 8-10 or even 12 kids. Since they really want to make sure there is a future population here on earth to carry on the family names and just survive.

    Religious fanatics of any brand are all fucked up to some degree, and nuns are just as bad as priests. Being women, there's been a tendency to assume they aren't that bad (just as there's a tendency to not believe that mothers ever sexually abuse their children), but you can be sure it has happened. They definitely were known to be very enthusiastic about beating school children in their charge; so enthusiastic that you have to wonder what was really going on in their heads. Read about what the nuns got up to in the single mother homes in Ireland if you want to get rid of any notion that nuns are in any way holy.

    They dress in black so they can attack at night while you sleep.

    At my Catholic school they had us all sign slips that basically said “if the priests touch you, we won’t hide it.” It was very reassuring.

      That's about as reassuring - and believable - as a sign on a cop car reading: "If one of our cops should shoot you in the head for no good reason, we won't try to cover it up."

    I'm Roman Catholic, and I don't fear any of the clergy.
