once when i was walking home from school i was bragging to my best friend's older brother about something (i dont remember what it was), and he asked me, "do you swear to god?". i said yes and he said that if i was lying, i would automatically go to hell. i was absolutely freaked out that my eternal soul was in peril, and i prayed for my salvation the rest of the way home.
