Whenever we did something that we shouldn’t have as children, my mother would tell us that God would punish us for our bad behavior. What’s something that your parents told you as a child but you never believed?

That she was going to slap me into the middle of next week.
Ok Mum - sure you have time travelling hands, ok.
I knew from the start that Santa was my mums cousin. I didn't fear being spanked when I was extremely nasty and a bitch, but I feared very much my mum to shed tears about it. Also my parents told me the "hunter" would get me when I was playing outside. That was a real threat as the "hunter" was just a person who watch the gardens with fresh produce and prevented theft and looting. As such he had a sharp eye on kids doing nonsense or damage. But I feared "the dark man" much more. I always suspected him to hide in dark spots and corners and threaten me from there. My parents didn't know of him though. my parents never used any religious things as a weapon against me. As a little girl I feared churches since they all had a dead tortured man on display and I thought it must be very bad people who hung such a display up. The uniform of priests seemed to support my fear that they all must be sinister bad people. Little did I know. They turned out to be worse than my childhood fears.
My great grandma used to say that. I believed her. One time a neighbor kid was being a jerk so I told him god would punish him. He thrust his hips toward the sky in a humping motion and said “god can suck my dick.” he wasn’t immediately struck down. Next time my great grandma tries to pull the god trick on me , I gave her this look https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/006/026/NOTSUREIF.jpg
My parents never told me anything like that. We had beatings. I think I screamed "Oh god my eye!" Once that's the closest to God there ever was😄🙃
I never believed I would be as good as the neighbor's daughter. (My mother wanted to be better. SO- She constantly would say: Why can't you be more like her?) Tragically, I was hyperactive, independent, energetic, loud and hardly submissive.. lol (no lie it hurt)
