I think this is one of the worst kinds of abuse. It makes me sad every time I hear about adults who use God as a threat or a punishment or an excuse to be abusive, and I'm positive that God must be pretty livid about it Himself.

If you are interested in a book that deals with spiritual abuse, and shows it for what it is, and offers a solution (love), one of my favorites is A War of Gifts, by Orson Scott Card. Not what you would expect from science fiction.
