I don't really remember much of the stuff I got taught when I was being raised as a catholic, but at some point I ended up getting this idea stuck in my head that, when you die and go to heaven, you can look down through some clouds and you can see what your still-living (and future) relatives are doing at all times, and what they're thinking too. I also, somehow, paradoxically thought that when you die and go to heaven, every single person in the world is also dead and in heaven at the same time, and everyone immediately gets blasted with the knowledge of everything that everyone has ever done, and thought, just when looking at them. When I was a kid I didn't really mind the idea of these concepts, I just thought when I eventually died and saw my nana/grandad/parents or whatever in heaven they could be like "Good job with being such a good kid anon!" because they'd been watching me the entire time. I thought it'd be a sort of relief and God's way of saving people the trouble of having to explain everything you did while you were alive by just making people know everything about you as soon as they see you. Now, I think it's possibly one of the most hellish things I can ever imagine, I know I definitely wouldn't want people to know every single thought i've had during my life, and every single dumb thing i've done, but I DEFINITELY wouldn't want to know everything my friends and family have ever thought of or have done, I really don't want to know what the first thing Albert Einstein ever masturbated to was. I always think anyone that thinks having the ability to read minds as a superpower would be "good" has to be some sort of sociopath because of stuff like that.
