I never once felt I would be petting any lions. Maybe when I was a little kid, but as I got older, nope. I did some things and thought some things that would have gotten me smote for sure (masturbation, anyone?), and I was so guilty over them and "not doing enough" that I just thought I'd be dead as a doornail. I feared Armageddon because it would mean my probable demise. No matter how many times I prayed and cried my heart out to "Jehovah" (even though I questioned that he even existed at all I prayed every once in awhile just in case), I never felt "right with god". I never felt good enough.

Found Sheep,
Could you elaborate? Why 0?
I'm not asking you to disclose anything embarrassing here. If it was because of some specific sins, please feel free to say "specific sins" or "repeated sins" or whatever.
Or was it more a sense of, "I just haven't done enough...," not enough FS, not enough inner love for Jehovah, what?

Wow! Sure glad you chose the "change everything" option!
That's a great lesson for anyone reading this who may be contemplating suicide: Don't do it!
Talk to someone.
