2nd - The end of the world

I grew up in an super Christian environment (not in the US). And one of the main focus of the church I attended with my parents was the end of the world. I remember when I was a wee little child one of the pastors was preaching about the End Times, and how Christians would be hunt down and basically tortured and killed if found. How our nonbeliever friends would turn on us and kill us. Among other honestly horrible stuff. That was the first time that I experienced a deep an existential dread to the point that I felt like it would be better to just die (mind you I was a child).

Since then, I've sort of stopped believing many of the teachings of that church. But that paranoia, and dread are still with me. Most of the time, I'm fine. Before it was every few months, now it's more like once a year. I am overcome with a sense of dread and paranoia that the end times are here and I won't be saved. I can't sleep, I feel like someone is gonna come in my house and murder me and my wife. I feel a desperate need to prepare somehow. I start checking drawers, closets, bathrooms, showers, under the bed even whenever I arrive home, or I go to sleep or even in the day. And I feel such an overwhelming dread about dying it's horrible.

All this is to say, I don't think that children should be exposed to ideas in such a way. I know that in the Christian belief it is a given that there would be persecution one day. But I think this idea could be introduced to children without causing fear and dread.
