Religion and Child Abuse

I was very distressed at seeing this topic censored in GD, because I believe child abuse in every form is a very serious problem, and that many methods that are used to indoctrinate children into religion are blatant acts of cruelty. I was born LGBT, and was aware of my orientation at a very early age. I was also a very curious child, and not prone to unquestionably believing everything adults told me. 
I was sent to a Catholic School when I was 4 years old, and was immediately subjected to intense brainwashing efforts by nuns and priests, reinforced by repeated sporadic physical abuse, for the purpose of indoctrinating me into the realm of existence commanded me by Catholic dogma.
