Used as a response to a promise that will obviously not be kept. After the Civil War, the U.S. government promised freed slaves “40 acres and a mule” as part of land redistribution plans under General William T. Sherman’s Special Field Order No. 15.
"Didn't you hear? They're going to forgive everyone's student loan debt"
"Yeah, 40 acres and a mule too".
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
