Neel Ingman

Neel Ingman is a writer and blogger who vividly remembers the fear of being a young boy taught to believe that God could read everybody’s mind.

He also remembers the terror of having swear words arrive unbidden into his consciousness whilst sitting in church. Along with merely thinking of the forbidden words came the urge to shout them out. A temptation he struggled successfully to resist.

At least in church.

It was a temptation similar to the feeling some people get atop a tall building or cliff. Neel has also managed to resist this temptation.

So far.
