Show of hands who consider themselves exhibiting scrupulosity? I found out today I'm not alone with my struggle.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Sorry, my ignorance
I had no idea what that word meant, so...
Scrupulosity is a psychological disorder characterized by pathological guilt about moral or religious issues. It is personally distressing, objectively dysfunctional, and often accompanied by significant impairment in social functioning.[1] It is typically conceptualized as a moral or religious form of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD),[2] although this categorization is empirically disputable.[1] Wikipedia
I can certainly relate but only in terms of sin and conviction thereof by the Holy Spirit, or as I like to call Him, the Hound of Heaven. When there is something new in my life God wants out I obsess about it, often repeatedly committing the offense in the meantime only making matters worse until I come to peace with the fact that Jesus paid it all and I am covered by His righteousness, not mine, and therefore makes me want to stop based on my love for Him.

I struggled with this before I got treatment for my OCD. It really takes away the beauty of faith and makes it an ugly, unenjoyable animal.
